The premiere pre-game show in all of college basketball will be returning to Chapel Hill next weekend to serve as the backdrop for the premiere rivalry in all of sports, as ESPN revealed Saturday that College GameDay will air live from the Smith Center prior to the Tar Heels’ game against Duke on Feb. 8.

This will mark the eighth time UNC has hosted College GameDay, while it will be the program’s 20th time being featured overall.

It will also be the 12th time that the show has had the UNC-Duke game as its primary focus, more than any other matchup in the country.

The show is scheduled to air at 11 a.m. on Saturday, hosted by Rece Davis, Jay Bilas, Seth Greenberg and LaPhonso Ellis.
