Duke Basketball Now Set to Surpass UNC in College GameDay Count
In this story:
As the No. 10 Blue Devils gear up to host unranked Virginia at 6 p.m. ET Saturday (ESPN), Duke basketball announced that it'll welcome ESPN's College GameDay to Cameron Indoor Stadium ahead of next Saturday's regular-season finale against the visiting archrival from eight miles down Tobacco Road in No. 9 UNC.

College GameDay, featuring host Rece Davis and an analyst cast that includes two Duke basketball products in Jay Bilas and Jay Williams, will broadcast live on ESPN from Coach K Court inside Cameron Indoor beginning at 10 a.m. Admission is free, with doors opening to the public at 9:30 a.m.
It'll mark College GameDay's 13th appearance in Durham, breaking a tie with UNC and Kansas for the most of any program. And it'll be the 28th time the show has been at a venue for a contest featuring the Blue Devils, also a record; the Tar Heels are second on that list with 27, four more than third-place Kansas and five more than Kentucky.

Tipoff between the Blue Devils and Tar Heels is at 6:30 p.m. (ESPN).
On Feb. 3, the College GameDay crew was in Chapel Hill for Round 1 of this season's series between Duke and UNC. Then-No. 3 UNC defeated No. 9 Duke, 93-84, as second-year Blue Devil head coach Jon Scheyer, 2-0 versus Hubert Davis last year, left with his first loss to the lighter shade of blue since succeeding Mike Krzyzewski.
