EAST LANSING, Mich. — ESPN College GameDay will return to East Lansing for the Michigan State men’s basketball game against Indiana on Saturday, Feb. 2 (6 p.m. tipoff).

“This, for me, is one of the more exciting moments in college basketball,” Head Coach Tom Izzo said. “It’s a great honor to have College GameDay come to our campus and I’m looking forward to seeing my friends Rece, Jay, Seth and Jay, who are among the best in the business. We’ve had some great crowds on GameDay and we’re looking forward to showing the nation our great Spartan Spirit.”
This will be the ninth time the Spartans are part of a College GameDay game, also a Big Ten best.
