The college basketball national spotlight will be on Tucson for Saturday's game between No. 4 Arizona and Oregon. ESPN's "College GameDay" announced following the Wildcats' 92-64 win over Washington that it will trek to the Old Pueblo this week.
ESPN' Saturday morning show previews the day's college basketball slate and latest storylines. The show is hosted by Rece Davis and features analysts LaPhonso Ellis, Seth Greenberg and Jay Bilas.
Saturday will mark the fourth Tucson stop for "GameDay."
The first time was Arizona's 69-67 loss to Washington in 2012, followed by the Wildcats' win over UCLA in 2015. Arizona was also featured on "College GameDay" in 2017, when the Bruins outlasted the Wildcats 77-72 at McKale Center.
