Three of Philly's Big 5 teams will be playing during ESPN's annual 24-hour basketball marathon to kick of the 2010-11 season. You might remember Penn playing Drexel at 10 A.M. (?!?!?!) two years ago as part of this event — however, the Quakers will not be participating this year when it all goes down Nov. 16.

At 2 P.M. La Salle goes to Baylor (ESPN), then at 5:30 Marist visits Villanova (ESPNU). St Joe's travels to Penn State at some point, the time is TBD, (ESPN3.com).

Should you be looking for something a little earlier, there's at least one more Penn connection: Robert Morris plays Kent St. at 8 A.M. (ESPN) in what will be one of former Penn player Andy Toole's first games as head coach of Robert Morris. Toole graduated Penn in 2003.
