The Tar Heels will take on Indiana with a tip time set for approximately 10 o’clock Friday night.

UNC is the No. 1 seed in the East Region and advanced to the Sweet 16 with a victory over Providence on Saturday night.

No. 5 Indiana secured its ticket to the Sweet 16 with a victory over No. 4 Kentucky.

The other East Regional semifinal between No. 6 Notre Dame and No. 7 Wisconsin will begin at 7:27 Friday night.

Both regional games will be televised on TBS from the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia.

The Tar Heels had the latest start time available on Saturday night, which led head coach Roy Williams to voice his objection at a press conference on Friday afternoon.

“Jiminy Christmas, you know, what can you say? 9:45, 9:50 for a start time. Don’t we have a East, South, Midwest, West? Don’t we have some games out there that we can show on TV at that time? But, you know, it’s like spitting in the wind; it’s stupid because you can’t do anything about it, but I despise it. I gotta sit in the dadgum hotel room; I’ll wake up at six o’clock in the morning, don’t even get to go to work until frickin’ 9:30 at night.”

No word from Williams yet on UNC getting the last available tip time once again for Friday night, but you cam take a guess at what he thinks.
