Dear Media Members –

[cid:image003.png at 01D5E7DE.EFCC5780]Greetings and welcome to Week 6 of ESPN’s College GameDay Covered by State Farm. The show will originate from Ferrell Center, the site of No. 3 Kansas at No. 1 Baylor (11 a.m. CT, ESPN) on Saturday, Feb. 22.

The show, airing at 10 a.m. on ESPN, previews all the day’s action and discusses the biggest storylines in college basketball. This will be Baylor’s second appearance on the show, having hosted one time prior on March 5, 2011. The last school to host College GameDay for football and basketball in the same school year (August to May) was Michigan State in 2015-16. The football version of the show went to East Lansing in Week 2 of the 2015 season, while the basketball version of the show was the first of the 2015-16 season.

College GameDay Covered by State Farm is hosted by Rece Davis<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fespnmediazone.com%2Fus%2Fbios%2Fdavis_rece%2F&data=01%7C01%7Cdavid_kaye%40baylor.edu%7C8d31669b1cf04896e25808d7b61ffd07%7C22d2fb35256a459bbcf4dc23d42dc0a4%7C0&sdata=K8RLqWgonl9V96p9mOnAVeVm3KMU3NEZalwcqlTiEV8%3D&reserved=0>, with analysts Jay Bilas<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fespnmediazone.com%2Fus%2Fbios%2Fbilas_jay%2F&data=01%7C01%7Cdavid_kaye%40baylor.edu%7C8d31669b1cf04896e25808d7b61ffd07%7C22d2fb35256a459bbcf4dc23d42dc0a4%7C0&sdata=AwTj%2F5LeFM%2FG2yJdc3IeiHLLg8MYKoQ5fXvWnxvD5p4%3D&reserved=0>, LaPhonso Ellis<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fespnpressroom.com%2Fus%2Fbios%2Flaphonso-ellis%2F&data=01%7C01%7Cdavid_kaye%40baylor.edu%7C8d31669b1cf04896e25808d7b61ffd07%7C22d2fb35256a459bbcf4dc23d42dc0a4%7C0&sdata=7IxfvWLhpZFI2BSbIP3uB67Vl7vSsITeE%2Fs4zPvApU0%3D&reserved=0> and Seth Greenberg<https://nam02.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fespnmediazone.com%2Fus%2Fbios%2Fseth-greenberg%2F&data=01%7C01%7Cdavid_kaye%40baylor.edu%7C8d31669b1cf04896e25808d7b61ffd07%7C22d2fb35256a459bbcf4dc23d42dc0a4%7C0&sdata=OE5%2BmJkdcMG%2FDVdxLcFE0%2FOsozJ6pExFjca1NT1sgAs%3D&reserved=0>.
