What TV channel is Kansas State basketball vs Iowa on for first-round NIT game?

The Kansas State men’s basketball team did not receive an NCAA Tournament at-large bid on Sunday, but instead landed in the National Invitation Tournament.

The Wildcats (19-14) will play their first-round game on the road Tuesday night against No. 3 regional seed Iowa (18-14) at Carver-Hawkeye Arena in Iowa City.

K-State has won two of its last three games, including an upset of Iowa State in its regular-season finale and victory over higher seed Texas in the second round of the Big 12 Tournament before falling to Iowa State in Thursday’s quarterfinals, 76-56. Iowa dropped its last regular season game at home against Illinois, then fell to Ohio State, 90-78 Thursday in the Big Ten Tournament.

Iowa, under 14th-year coach Fran McCaffery, tied for sixth in the Big Ten at 10-10. The Hawkeyes average 82.9 points per game.
