ESPN's 'College GameDay' returning to Neville Arena for upcoming Auburn basketball game

AUBURN — Another season, another visit to the Plains for ESPN's "College GameDay."

The program is set to visit Neville Arena for Auburn basketball's game against Kentucky on Feb. 17. The Tigers will welcome the one-hour show for the fourth time in program history, as it also made appearances for the Alabama game in 2023, the Texas A&M game in 2022 and the Kentucky game in 2020.

College GameDay did not travel during the 2020-21 season because of the pandemic.

The show is hosted by Rece Davis, and he's joined by analysts Jay Bilas, Jay Williams, Seth Greenberg and Andraya Carter. Auburn's game against Kentucky on Feb. 17 is set to tip off at 5 p.m. CT on ESPN. College GameDay will air from 10-11 a.m. CT.

Gates will open for students at 7 a.m. and for the general public at 7:30 a.m. Neville Arena will then be cleared once the show ends and gates will reopen later in the afternoon. Information regarding re-entry for students will be released at a later date, per a news release from Auburn.
