The festivities of Mass Street Madness were set to continue through 3 p.m.; tipoff is at 5:09 p.m.

Several downtown businesses plan to host watch parties. The doors of Allen Fieldhouse, too, were set to open at 4 p.m. for a free watch party, and concessions will be available, according to KU.

In case you missed it, here’s a look at Mass Street early Saturday morning — calm before the chaos.
