“College GameDay” makes its first trip to N.C. State on Saturday to preview the North Carolina at N.C. State game, which will air at 6 p.m. on ESPN. “GameDay” will celebrate the 25-year anniversary of the Jerome Lane backboard-shattering one-handed dunk, which took place on Jan. 25, 1988, during a game between Pittsburgh and Providence. ESPN analyst Bill Raftery famously pronounced “Send it in, Jerome!” — the play later made ESPN's list of “100 Greatest Sports Highlights.”
