Midnight Madness: More than just a dance party this year
Posted by: Mike Stewart in Campus News, Sports
You thought Midnight Madness was all for show, but the Hoyas will already be playing for keeps next Friday. Top-rated prospect Greg “The Doctrine” Monroe will be in attendance for the annual celebration that marks the first minute college hoops teams can start official practice (I wonder if he’ll have to wait outside for a ticket?).

Better make some noise, Hoya fans, ’cause the McDonough facilities aren’t going to impress as much as the digs at his next stop.

If he follows through, he’ll round out a pretty stellar incoming class next year. Based on all the talk about his academic achievements, he’ll probably have a higher GPA than you, too. […]
