ESPN’s College GameDay – LSU Vs South Carolina Coming Soon To ESPN+ & Disney+
Disney has announced details on the upcoming ESPN’s College GameDay coverage, which will see the 2024-25 women’s college basketball season kick off with a special presentation across ESPN, ESPN+ and Disney+.
The match will take place on Thursday 23rd January 2025 and it marks the first of five on-campus visits for the women’s college basketball edition of the pregame show. The one-hour program will air at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN, preceding the storied conference rivalry between No. 5 LSU and No. 2 South Carolina.
This will be the third time the Gamecocks have hosted GameDay – the most of any school, and the fifth appearance on the show. The matchup marks the second time LSU will be featured on the program after kicking off last season hosting South Carolina.
Elle Duncan, a two-time Sports Emmy Award winner, returns at the helm for her third season to host the pregame program. She is joined by 2023 Sports Emmy nominee and basketball analyst Andraya Carter in her third season. Rounding out the desk is Chiney Ogwumike, a two-time WNBA All-Star and multi-sport studio analyst for NBA Today, women’s college basketball and WNBA, who is back for her second season on GameDay. The trio made headlines for their coverage during last season’s exciting post-season coverage, dubbed by many as “the Big Three.”
Carter will once again play double GameDay duty as a regular desk analyst on the men’s edition of the pregame show, alongside her responsibilities on the women’s side.
Additional road shows will take place on Feb. 16, Feb. 23, March 2 and conference championship week of March 9 before beginning the post-season run with ESPN’s exclusive coverage of the NCAA Division I Women’s Basketball Championship.
ESPN senior vice president of sports production Meg Aronowitz said in a statement:
“We could not be more excited to tip off this season of College GameDay with this top-5 matchup between the Tigers and Gamecocks. Our team continuously looks for new and innovative ways to showcase this dynamic sport and the special players we see on a day-to-day basis. The voices of Elle, Andraya and Chiney will only add to the passion we look forward to seeing from each fan base this season.”
