Caitlin Clark's Indiana Fever preseason game at Iowa has new start time
Dargan SouthardThe Indiana Fever exhibition scheduled for May 4 inside Carver-Hawkeye Arena will now start at 3 p.m., two hours earlier than originally scheduled.
The shift likely comes as a result of the game's TV designation, which numerous outlets reported on April 15. Caitlin Clark and the Fever will face the Brazil national team on ESPN unless there is a Game 7 in the NBA playoffs, which would cause the Fever game to be shifted to ESPN2.
Before the news broke, Indiana was already scheduled for a league-high 41 nationally televised or streamed games.
Tickets to see the former Iowa women's basketball superstar return to Iowa City sold out in 45 minutes and resale prices exceed $250 on Ticketmaster.
