ESPN networks tip-off the 2016-17 men's college basketball season with a solid schedule of non-conference match-ups during the opening weekend, beginning with the fifth annual State Farm Armed Forces Classic from Honolulu on Friday, Nov. 11.

ESPN Events, a division of ESPN, opens its college basketball event season in Hawaii with the State Farm Armed Forces Classic before traveling to New York City for the State Farm Champions Classic on Tuesday, Nov. 15, and then continuing on to its remaining eight early-season men's events that the Charlotte, N.C.-based group owns and operates.

All games aired on an ESPN network will also be available through WatchESPN, accessible on computers, smartphones, tablets and streaming devices to fans who receive their video subscription from an affiliated provider. Content will also live throughout the season on SportsCenter, ESPN.com, ESPN Radio, ESPN the Magazine and many more ESPN properties.

State Farm Armed Forces Classic - Nov. 11
The fifth annual State Farm Armed Forces Classic - to be played on Veterans Day, Friday, Nov. 11, just under a month from the 75thanniversary of the attack on Pearl Harbor - will pit preseason-ranked No. 10 Arizona against No. 12 Michigan State at 7 p.m. and No. 3 Kansas vs. No. 11 Indiana at 9:30 p.m. The games will originate from the Stan Sheriff Center on the campus of the University of Hawaii in Honolulu with surrounding events at the U.S. Navy Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam.

College GameDay Covered by State Farm begins coverage at 6:30 p.m. on ESPN and ESPN Radio from the Stan Sheriff Center.
