Another element has been added to next Sunday’s massive women’s basketball showdown at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
ESPN’s College GameDay will be in Iowa City for the regular-season finale between No. 7 Iowa and No. 2 Indiana on Feb. 26 — a game that could very well decide the Big Ten regular-season title. Tipoff is at 1 p.m. with ESPN televising. This marks the first time the show's college basketball edition has come to Iowa City since debuting in 2005.
"It’s a huge honor, and we are looking forward to showcasing our program on one of the best stages,” said Iowa coach Lisa Bluder in a release,

IOWA CITY — Another element has been added to next Sunday’s massive women’s basketball showdown at Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
ESPN’s College GameDay will be in Iowa City for the regular-season finale between No. 7 Iowa and No. 2 Indiana on Feb. 26 — a game that could very well decide the Big Ten regular-season title.

"It’s a huge honor, and we are looking forward to showcasing our program on one of the best stages,” said Iowa coach Lisa Bluder in a release,
College GameDay will broadcast live inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena from 10 to 11 a.m. Elle Duncan will host the show alongside commentators Andraya Carter, Rebecca Lobo, Carolyn Peck and Holly Rowe. Duncan also will report live for ESPN's SportsCenter during the 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. window. Arena gates open to fans with tickets to the game at 9 a.m. Fans should sit in sections AA-B first and fill in around after that. After the show has concluded, fans may exit the arena and re-enter with the same ticket.
A staple of weekend hoops once the conference schedule is in full swing, College GameDay will be hosting just its fifth show ever at a women's basketball location. Most recently, GameDay was in Thompson-Boling Arena last month for the Connecticut-Tennessee game on Jan. 26. The show has never come to a Big Ten venue for women's basketball until now.
