Get ready for another Friday night with the Cats. Tip times for the first round of the NCAA Tournament just dropped and No. 3 seed Kentucky will face No. 13 seed Troy Friday night at 7:10 p.m. ET in Milwaukee. The game will be broadcast on CBS with Kevin Harlan, Dan Bonner, Stan Van Gundy, and Lauren Shehadi on the call.
Once that game wraps, we’ll see who Kentucky will face if they win. The winner of the No. 11 seed play-in game between Xavier and Texas and No. 6 seed Illinois tips off at 9:45 p.m. on Friday, also on CBS. Hooray for Kentucky not getting the late game.
