EAST LANSING, Mich. - Michigan State students and fans are invited to the Breslin Center Saturday morning, Feb. 24, to watch a live broadcast of ESPN College GameDay. Host Rece Davis and analysts Jay Bilas, Hubert Davis and Digger Phelps are making their first trip to East Lansing in the three-year history of the show. In the morning, the set will be located at center court of the Breslin Center. Gates A & B will open at 9:30 a.m. and admission is free to the public. At 10 a.m., there will be an ESPN SportsCenter tease, followed by a live one-hour show from 11 a.m.-12 p.m. Spartan fans are encouraged to wear white shirts for the telecast.
The Spartan Brass, MSU dance team and cheerleaders will be performing and Michigan State athletics will hold promotional giveaways throughout the morning. Spartan head coach Tom Izzo will be conducting a live interview during the hour-long show. In addition, concession stands will feature dollar hot-dogs, drinks and popcorn.
In the evening, GameDay will air live from the concourse level of the Breslin Center from 8-9 p.m., prior to tip-off of the Michigan State-Indiana game.
This is just the second time in the three-year history of the show that the Big Ten has been the host school. The first occasion came earlier this January when Michigan State played at Ohio State.
