Indiana's annual "Hoosier Hysteria" open practice will take on Oct. 22, the program officially announced Saturday via Twitter.

The event will serve as the official tip-off of both the men's and women's basketball seasons, according to a release. Admission is free, but IU Athletics is encouraging fans to bring a canned food item and donate it to Hoosier Hills Food Bank.

The Hoosiers open the 2016 regular season Nov. 11 at 9 p.m. ET on ESPN against Kansas at the Armed Forces Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii.
