As the 2024-25 basketball season unfolds, Auburn makes program history by hosting ESPN’s College GameDay for the fifth straight year. This Saturday, Jan. 25 at 7:30 p.m., the No. 6 Tennessee Volunteers (17-2) travel to Neville Arena in Auburn, Ala., to play the top-ranked Tigers (17-1). College Gameday will begin its one hour show at 10 a.m. CDT.
Hosted by sports television journalist Rece Davis, along with analysts Jay Bilas, Jay Williams, Seth Greenberg, and Andraya Carter, the show will be aired live Saturday morning in advance of the conference clash of titans.
Over the last five seasons, Auburn is the only basketball school in the country to host College GameDay every single year. This includes 2020, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 (the show did not air during the 2020-2021 season due to the covid pandemic).
Neville Arena will open its gates for College GameDay at 7 a.m. on Saturday. Students are to use the student gate and the public will use the main entrance located at the North end of the arena. At 11 a.m. following the end of the show, the arena will promptly be cleared.
