After sitting courtside for most big Maryland basketball games in the past 15 years to root for his alma mater, ESPN anchor Scott Van Pelt plans to bring his new nightly midnight “SportsCenter” show to Xfinity Center following the Nov. 17 game against Georgetown.
Van Pelt tweeted his plans on Sunday. He said in a subsequent interview with InsideMDSports that he told his boss at ESPN that he planned to be at the game and might have to skip doing the job unless he could take it with him to College Park.
"I kind of told the head guy here before our show ever started, on November 17th either I'm not doing a show, or we're going to do the show there.
