In year's past we've been spoiled by Iowa State getting a favorable TV slot with their NCAA Tournament games, but no such case exists this year. With Kentucky also occupying the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville it stands to reason that the session for the South Region would get bumped. And bumped it did.
#Cyclones play at 11:40 AM Thursday. #Panthers are 12:40 PM Friday. #Hawkeyes tip Friday night at 6:20 PM. (All times CST)

Murphy doesn't list the network but we've see TruTV floating around as the destination for the match up between the Cyclones and Blazers.
