Hours before the Blue Devils and the Wolverines take the court in Washington, D.C., ESPN's College GameDay will kick off all of the college basketball action from Capital One Arena. Then, at 6:30 p.m. ET, action will get underway between No. 3 Duke and No. 1 Michigan.

While the game itself is obviously the main attraction, hundreds of fans will be in attendance for College GameDay, and thousands more will be watching from home.
