Elle Duncan will host the show alongside commentators Andraya Carter, Rebecca Lobo, Carolyn Peck, and Holly Rowe. All arena doors will open at 9 a.m. for fans who have tickets to the game. Fans should sit in sections AA-B first and fill in around after that. After the first segment of the show concludes at 10:20 a.m., fans will be asked to move to assigned ticketed seats for the remainder of the show. Normal parking procedures will begin at 8 a.m. until tipoff, according to a release from Hawkeye Sports.

It will be the final game of the regular season and senior day for the Hawkeyes. Clark is 51 points away from passing Pete Maravich and breaking the all-time NCAA scoring record.

When Iowa played at Ohio State earlier this season, the Hawkeyes fell in overtime, 100-92. Ohio State is currently atop the Big Ten standings with a 14-1 conference record.

College Gameday broadcasted live from Carver-Hawkeye Arena for the first time in school history last season when Iowa hosted No. 2 Indiana. The Hawkeyes beat the Hoosiers, 86-85, on a Clark buzzer-beating three-pointer, and the win propelled them to an NCAA title game appearance.

“It’s exciting for us to host College GameDay two years in a row. They don’t come out very often, and for this to happen at The University of Iowa is tremendous,” Iowa head coach Lisa Bluder said in a release. “We are going to have an unbelievable atmosphere, and it’s going to give a national spotlight to this wonderful university.”
