ESPN Gameday next weekend vs Texas?

[CYdways432]

With the late tip time and the only other games with ranked teams really early in the day I think it could happen.

KU @ OU is at 1:30 (ESPN)
UK @ South Carolina is at 11 (ESPN)
Wisconsin @ Maryland is at 5:30 (ESPN)
Texas @ ISU 7:30 (ESPN)

Did you see this game last time they played? It was perfect for Gameday. My guess is they go to Norman.

I think we found out last year that the game day game doesn't have to be at night. (Not sure what school it was). But it seems like we've got a shot at it.

If I was the guy who makes this decision, I pick KU at OU 100 times out of 100.

Unless they want to make it a point to do a game in Hilton with the way it went last year. This game is undoubtedly the best Saturday game left. Also, is there a limit to the number of times a team can be on Gameday each year? Because I think ESPN really wants that ISU/KU game at the end of the season for Gameday.

Texas will probably be coming off a loss @OU.

they like Hilton. I think we underestimate how impressive we are.

 

[stormchaser2014]

At least there's a question mark this time.

or not. Oklahoma is certainly capable of losing a game or two.

With how much ESPN slobs on the Hilton Magic knob I really wouldn't be surprised if they came up for that 2nd tier game...

 

[NorthCyd]

I wonder if that happened if we would get anywhere close to the turnout we had last year?

 

[EYEoftheSTORM]

That's a good question. I doubt it though given the opponent being the second year of Hilton getting a game day. I could see ESPN sending it to Ames because the opponent is Texas.

arguably the best regular-season NCAA game of all time? if not it's in the all-time top 3, right?

 

[acrozier22]

Gameday will definitely be in Norman. It's a no brainer. KU/OU the first time was one of the best games ever during the regular season. They want all the HYPE for round two of that matchup.

 

[dahliaclone]

There is no way they aren't in Norman.

 

[Cydkar]

Unless they just don't do GameDay for early games this is a non-question. KU @ OU might be their easiest choice ever. Other than UK @ KU last week.

 

[gocubs2118]

They would of flexed OU/KU to the prime time slot of that was the game they were planning on doing for Gameday.

Yeah this is what I was thinking, and its actually kind of shocking that they didnt.

I'm a youngster but I can't think of a better one in my lifetime.

Only thing about KU @ OU is the 130 tip. Gameday runs from 10am-11am on TV. Say they get everyone cleared out of the arena by 1130. Pretty sure its an NCAA rule that the teams get 2 hours for shoot around before the game. With a 130 tip that's going to be pushing it really close.

also, I found this via http://mattsarzsports.blogspot.com/2015/11/notable-mens-basketball-television.html
that ESPN pre determined most of the games. this site has 5 dates listed and of the 3 selected Gameday sites so far all 3 have been night tips.
