(San Francisco) - Basketball excitement returns to the Hilltop for the 2008-09 season, starting Friday, October 17 with Midnight Madness, hosted by Los Locos with the assistance of the ASUSF Superfund and the University of San Francisco Athletic Department. Midnight Madness is the first opportunity for USF Basketball fans to see both the Men's and Women's teams in action.

Festivities kick off Friday at 10 PM at War Memorial Gym following a crucial West Coast Conference match for the USF men's soccer team against San Diego. After the Dons tackle the Toreros under the lights at Negoesco Stadium, the action moves down Golden Gate Avenue to War Memorial Gym, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this season.

There will be a pre-event barbeque free to the first 1,000 fans. During the barbeque, take advantage of the opportunity to mingle with both the Men's and Women's Basketball teams, get your face painted by the USF Spirit Squad, and hear live music by the USF Pep Band. All USF students that haven't received their free Los Locos T-shirt, courtesy of the Student Rewards Program, will receive it that night.

As fans enter the gym they will be handed a raffle ticket which will make them eligible to participate in a variety of contests throughout the night. Some of the contests include the opportunity to win $10,000 cash or a 2-year, $30,000 lease on a brand new BMW. Throughout the event, check out the Men's and Women's Basketball team scrimmage, performances by the USF Spirit Squad and Pep Band, and a show by the USA Break Dancers. Also there will be special performances by both the Men's and Women's Basketball teams.
