NBC Sports Network's 2012-13 college basketball coverage begins on Friday, Nov. 9 with a live triple-header.

The men's game follows at 7 p.m. ET, when 2012 Final Four participant Ohio State takes on Marquette, who advanced to last year's Sweet 16. The night of college basketball programming concludes at 9 p.m. ET, with Georgetown facing Florida, an Elite Eight team last year, in the Navy-Marine Corps Classic, live from the deck of the USS Bataan in Jacksonville, Fla.
