ESPN’s Press Release Below:
College GameDay Covered by State Farm is ending the regular season on high note, as the crew heads to No. 4 Dayton for the first time next Saturday, March 7.

Bilas will join play-by-play commentator Dan Shulman and reporter Holly Rowe for the Saturday Primetime presented by H&R Block matchup between North Carolina and No. 4 Duke (6 p.m., ESPN).
