ESPN's GameDay (Hoop version) coming to Gampel Pavilion for UConn's Jan. 18 game against Louisville.

Let's go!

Whoops, GameDay won't be broadcasting from Storrs, it is only the site for the evening game:

Let's clarify: UConn (Gampel) will be site of EVENING GameDay broadcast Jan. 18. Bilas/Digger/Rose will be in Philly in the morning.

Still, Florida and Louisville at Gampel this year? Pretty good.

The 10 AM show is at the Palestra, then the crew is driving up to Storrs for the 8 PM show.

Unfortunately students will be on break, still should be a great crowd tho.

@SteveJones_CJ: The 10 a.m. episode of ESPN GameDay on 1/18 will be Temple-LaSalle in Philly. Then U of L at UConn for 8 p.m. show. UofL-UConn tipoff at 9.

Spring semester starts on Jan. 21. Students better come back that Friday or Saturday, and this is the perfect reason to.

Fingers crossed that is the case!

Great it's on a Saturday for us out of towners!

Interesting set up. In the past, wasn't the site of all the "gameday" broadcasts also the final game of the day in primetime?

Right... doesn't make much sense... setup two sets and then move the crew (assume they would spring for for the quick flight?)

9 PM on A Saturday at Gampel against the defending champs with Gameday in the house. This better be one of the best crowds ever.

Maybe another send off to the ACC "with a taste of UConn in their mouths"???

 

[alexd]

This is very nice.

AAC has 3 games, ACC has 2, followed by a bunch of other conferences with 1 each.

 

[CL82]

You know this could be huge for us if we are as good as I think we are going to be. A awful lot of eyes watching us vs. last years champs. Without Silva on the court, I like our chances.

Usually dorms and apartments are shut down until the day before classes resume. Hopefully they'll make an exception.

I think they have made exceptions in the past for games that happen that Friday before school restarts. For some reason I feel like Texas was an example, but I'm not positive.

We're killing it with football and basketball schedules in 13-14 wooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

Its okay, at least its a........ cough....cough AAC team/opponent, giving the league some good exposure. I would expect a lot of talk will be about the new conference. Which of course will give us UConn fans a better overview as well.

Actually I bet the 18th is the Saturday of the weekend before the beginning of Spring semester, and if so plenty will be there

Skeet skeet muthafukaaaa!

Indeed it is, but look at what CTbasketball said about 5 posts before you

 

[babysheep]

Yeah I read that after I posted but I seem to remember not having class the day after I moved back in one year, which is what made me think that there will be a decent amount of people there.

edit I think I'm remembering when we had snow and the first day of classes was cancelled
