ESPN College Gameday Returns To Gainesville

College Gameday is set to return to the O’Connell Center on Saturday for the No. 3 Florida vs. No. 12 Texas A&M men’s basketball matchup.

College Gameday

This marks the first time the show will air from Gainesville since 2017. Rece Davis, Andraya Carter, Seth Greenberg, Jay Williams and Pete Thamel will all be on site covering the game, as well as Jay Bilas who will be joining remotely. The show begins earlier in the day at 10 a.m. with tip-off later in the evening at 8:30. Entry for College Gameday opens at 8:30 a.m. for Gator students (Gate 3) and 8:45 a.m. for the general public (Gate 1). Tickets are first-come, first-served.

With the show’s visit on Saturday, the Gators will have played 10 games in front of Gameday — six of which were at home, making Florida among the top five most frequent sites for Gameday along with Duke, North Carolina, Kansas and Kentucky. Florida basketball has a record of 7-2 when Gameday makes an appearance, including 4-1 at home.

Home-Stretch

As the end of the regular season nears, the No. 3 Gators gear up to take on the No. 12 Texas A&M Aggies. The Gators face the Georgia Bulldogs on Tuesday in Athens at 7 p.m. to prepare for their big matchup with the Aggies on Saturday.

The Aggies will host the Vanderbilt Commodores on Wednesday. Tip off is at 6 p.m. in Reed Arena.

The Gators are on a hot streak after defeating LSU earlier this week for their sixth straight win. They’ll look to keep that momentum in their following games, leading into the SEC Tournament.
