College GameDay Covered by State Farm is back!

ESPN’s College GameDay Covered by State Farm is back! The popular college basketball pregame show hosted by Rece Davis with analysts Jay Bilas, LaPhonso Ellis and Seth Greenberg returned last weekend on Saturday, Jan. 16. The show cover’s the top storylines and matchups from 11 a.m. ET for the remainder of the season leading up to Champ Week. 

The one-hour GameDay, featuring analysis, interviews and features aired on ESPN2 last weekend and will return to its usual spot-on ESPN, originating this season from ESPN’s Bristol, Conn., campus. 

Fans can register for an opportunity to be part of the virtual crowd, created in conjunction with Ross Production Services. Fans will be chosen weekly and those who are selected will be notified in the days leading up to each week’s show. Fans are encouraged to sport their team colours, cheer, and make signs as if they were part of the in-person College GameDay experience, as they will be incorporated into the national ESPN telecasts. Registration details will be available on College GameDay social handles. 

In place of the half-court shot to close the show, this season basketball fans can show off their skills through the Surprisingly Great Skills Contest Presented by State Farm. Contest hopefuls can submit videos of their most surprising plays, best dunks, and even homemade trick shots at https://www.hoops.statefarm/. Each week, one fan-submitted video will air during the show’s Best Plays segment. Three finalists will be chosen for the final round. One grand prize winner will be awarded $19,000 live during the final broadcast on March 6.
