ESPN’s College GameDay Covered by State Farm will continue its 2013 campus tour, visiting Raleigh, N.C., in advance of the North Carolina at No. 18 NC State matchup on Saturday, Jan. 26, at 7 p.m. on ESPN. The first hour begins at 10 a.m. on ESPNU, continuing at 11 a.m. on ESPN, plus a one-hour edition at 6 p.m. on ESPN. GameDay, as well as the game, are available on ESPN 3D and WatchESPN.

NC State is hosting GameDay for the first time, while North Carolina is making its first of two appearances this season in a GameDay contest (also on March 9 when the Tar Heels face Duke at home).

GameDay will be celebrating the 25-year anniversary of the Jerome Lane backboard-shattering one-handed dunk, which took place on January 25, 1988. ESPN analyst Bill Raftery had the call of the game and famously pronounced “Send it in, Jerome!” – the play later made ESPN’s list of “100 Greatest Sports Highlights.” NC State coach and former ESPN men’s basketball analyst Mark Gottfried will join the GameDay crew and the show will feature a segment of “Know Your Teammate”, with two Wolfpack players squaring off.

Rece Davis will host College GameDay with analysts Jay Bilas, Digger Phelps and Jalen Rose to preview all the day’s action and discuss the biggest storylines in college basketball. College GameDay Schedule

A part of the Internal Communications team at ESPN, I began with the network in 2010 as part of the College Sports PR team. Always an avid sports fan and not an athlete – I grew up a huge fan of the Hartford Whalers, while also watching my brother compete at different levels. I became the manager of several high school sports teams and continued that hobby into college. While at Quinnipiac, I worked in the Sports Information Department, which led me to a summer internship at the New Haven Ravens, a AA baseball team, and an eventual job with the Athletic Communications Department at the University of Connecticut. After my five-year stint at Connecticut, I spent six years as Director of Communications at the BIG EAST Conference in Providence, R.I. before joining ESPN.
