Iowa State To Host ESPN College GameDay Jan. 17

AMES, Iowa – Cyclone fans, the news you have been waiting for has finally arrived! For the first time in school history, Iowa State has been picked to host ESPN College GameDay Covered by State Farm on Saturday, Jan. 17, prior to the Cyclones' home game with Kansas. The game will be scheduled to start at 8 p.m. CT.

“It is really exciting to have GameDay here for the first time in school history," Iowa State head coach Fred Hoiberg said. "Everyone that is a fan of college basketball is tuned into ESPN all day. They are watching the show to see how great of an atmosphere you have, and that's just in the morning leading up to the game. I know our fans will probably fill Hilton Coliseum in the morning and hopefully we'll go out and have a great game Saturday night.”

ESPN GameDay, the station's signature college basketball pregame show, begins at 9 a.m. CT on ESPNU, continuing at 10 a.m. CT on ESPN with an evening edition leading into Iowa State's Big 12 showdown with Kansas. Doors will open for the event at 7 a.m.

Iowa State and Kansas have combined to record a 21-4 mark to start the year and have been ranked in the top 25 every week of the 2014-15 campaign.

ESPN's College GameDay Covered by State Farm boasts some new faces this season as analysts Seth Greenberg and Jay Williams join the returning duo of host Rece Davis and analyst Jay Bilas on the eight-week Saturday morning and evening program that originates from the site of ESPN's Saturday Primetime Presented by DIRECTV telecast.

Bilas will also serve as analyst for the game, alongside Dan Shulman and reporter Shannon Spake.
