The popular college basketball television show will be making
its first-ever appearance at the WVU Coliseum. The show is scheduled to
broadcast live twice that day, both for one hour at 11 a.m. and at 8
p.m. West Virginia and Louisville will be televised by ESPN and tip at 9
p.m.
The WVU-Louisville game will be played on the final regular
season weekend for college basketball in 2008-09. The Big East is the
only conference that will have more than one league school host GameDay
this season (Connecticut at Notre Dame on Jan. 24 is the other league
contest).
“We are certainly excited about ESPN College GameDay coming to
our campus,” says Head Coach Bob Huggins. “It will be a day that we
will be able to showcase our great fans, our great University and the
great state of West Virginia.”
The Big East will announce the rest of the conference schedule
in early September.
