Kansas University’s men’s basketball program again will appear on ESPN College GameDay this season, but the Jayhawks will do so on the road.

KU’s Saturday, Jan. 17, date with Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, the Big 12 Conference announced on Tuesday, will tip off at 8 p.m. and serve as the network’s headliner game.

The selection was made as part of ESPN’s new flexible schedule for GameDay, being used for the first time this season. Sites are announced the week prior to games. Other Big 12 schools could be considered for other GameDay hosting duties later in the 2014-15 season.

The first hour of ESPN College GameDay begins at 9 a.m. CT on ESPNU, continuing at 10 a.m. CT on ESPN, with an evening edition leading into the Kansas at Iowa State matchup. 

??The 2014-15 season marks the 11th year for ESPN’s College Gameday. KU has hosted the show five times (2005, 2007, 2008, 2011 and 2013) and has been the road team on three occasions (2006, 2010, 2012 and 2014). Kansas is 5-4 all-time on GameDay. Coach Bill Self’s Jayhawks are 4-1 at Allen Fieldhouse and 1-3 away on the network’s showcase broadcast.?

This marks the sixth consecutive season the Jayhawks have appeared on ESPN’s Saturday event.
