When No. 7 Maryland comes to Breslin Center on Saturday, so will ESPN's College GameDay.

The men’s basketball team will host the Terrapins (17-2, 6-1 Big Ten) in conference play at 6:30 p.m., but the fans are in it for the long haul.

Doors to Breslin open at 8:30 a.m. for Izzone members and 9 a.m. for the public, according to Spartan Athletics. Izzone members may enter through the ticket office and the public through Gate B.

Admission is free for every fan, according to Spartan Athletics, and parking is also available for fans at 63W, 66A and at Jenison Field House.

MSU fans should be familiar with the GameDay atmosphere. In the fall, the football team was an undefeated 2-0 when featured. The Spartans' sole GameDay in Spartan Stadium last season was a win against the Oregon Ducks in a nationally televised top-10 game.

The last time East Lansing welcomed a basketball GameDay was Jan. 25, 2014 when the Spartans played University of Michigan.

This will be the Spartan’s eighth overall time being featured on the ESPN basketball show, the most of any Big Ten program.
