GameDay will visit for WVU-Louisville basketball game
Staff writer

MORGANTOWN - West Virginia's basketball schedule won't be finalized for another few weeks, but this much is certain: The Mountaineers will play host to Louisville on the last weekend of the regular season, and ESPN's College GameDay will be there.

The league and ESPN announced Wednesday that GameDay will broadcast live from the WVU Coliseum that day, for an hour between 11 a.m. and noon and then again at 8 p.m. West Virginia and Louisville will tip off at 9 p.m.

"We are certainly excited about ESPN College GameDay coming to our campus," WVU coach Bob Huggins said in a release issued by the school. "It will be a day that we will be able to showcase our great fans, our great university and the great state of West Virginia."

West Virginia has released the non-conference portion of its schedule and knows which Big East teams it will play, but the league won't finalize the dates for conference games until early September.

GameDay will also broadcast from Notre Dame on Jan. 24 when the Irish play Connecticut. The Big East is the only conference that will have more than one of its schools play host to GameDay.

Nope. The Big East regular season champion will beat Louisville, then proceed to the NCAA Tournament with a #1 seed after also winning the Big East Tournament.

That is great news, can't wait. WVU Basketball continues to get more exposure with Huggins. This is going to be an amazing year. With the early season tournament with Iowa, K-St, and Kentucky, Jimmy V game against Davidson, and Christmas game with Ohio St, this Louisville Gameday game will cap off an amazing year. Hopefully the Big East regular season champ will be decided on that 9 pm game.
