In September, ESPN announced that Florida Gulf Coast, on Friday Oct. 18, would be featured, along with eight other teams, in their annual ESPNU Midnight Madness.

The ESPNU broadcast on the 18th (from 9 p.m to 1 a.m) includes Duke's "Countdown to Craziness" and others events at Kentucky, Memphis, New Mexico, Oklahoma State, Syracuse, UConn, and Wichita State. And of course FGCU, which has been named "Dunk City After Dark". ESPN's press release does not state the start time of FGCU's event, but FGCU says it will occur from about 9:30 - 11:00 p.m at Alico Arena.

The event will be broadcasted by ESPN CBB analyst LaPhonso Ellis. But what what does Dunk City After Dark entail? Well, this:

•Intro video
•3-point contest
•Scrimmage
•Player skits
•Dunk contest

Alico Arena should already be full by the time that even starts; FGCU Volleyball takes on Lipscomb at 7:00 p.m.
