Villanova @ UCONN is on CBS so that’s out of the running.

Our best chance is probably the SMU game on Feb 24th but SMU is going to have to up their game to make that happen.

Uconn vs WSU is the open option not yet set for which channel on a Saturday.

[FadedCrown]

January 20th is at Rupp Arena, per their twitter.

Going into the season I thought we had a strong chance to host Gameday on 2/10 against UConn. But UConn still sucks and Purdue is good(Purdue/MSU is the only real competition for Gameday that day). We won't be hosting. There is a slim chance SMU could host on the 24th against us, but KU@TT is that day, so it will be tough.

How about one of our games versus Cincinnati?

Man, that 2015 College GameDay against UNI will be one of my top favorite memories. It was my senior year, so basically my last game in the student section. I even managed to get on TV briefly by jumping up and down when the camera was focused on Jay Bilas. Would be awesome to see GameDay come back to Wichita, but it'd still be exciting to play as the away team regardless. Hope it happens again someday soon.

We'll be back on GameDay again.

The MVC will not.

I wondered if GameDay had ever visited an MVC school before us in 2015, so I looked it up.

2008 - SIU vs Creighton in Carbondale (SIU won 48-44...)

And that's it.

(SIU won 48-44...)

There's a reason it took them 8 years to come back. I'd be fine with SIU never winning another basketball game ever for what they did in the mid-aughts.

48-44 . . . :banghead:

Glad we don't have to :banghead: in the Valley anymore!
