The basketball version of ESPN’s College GameDay is coming to Auburn for the first time ever on Saturday, February 1.
The national show is set to broadcast prior to Auburn’s upcoming top-20 matchup with Kentucky.
Host Rece Davis (an alumnus of the University of Alabama) and analysts Jay Bilas, LaPhonso Ellis and Seth Greenberg will be live from Auburn Arena, beginning at 10:00 a.m. CT on ESPN.
According to the university, this marks the first time Auburn has been featured on the show as a host or visiting team. Head coach Bruce Pearl has made four previous appearances on the show when he was coaching at Tennessee.
The Tigers have split the last six meetings with the Wildcats, including winning two of the last three inside Auburn Arena.
Additionally, Countdown to GameDay Live will serve as the pregame show to the pregame show. Each week, ESPN’s Rece Davis, Jason Fitz and Christine Williamson will join a wide array of ESPN college basketball analysts and reporters. The show will premiere this Saturday across Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and the ESPN App.
