Why is Iowa vs LSU not on ABC?

The Iowa Hawkeyes vs LSU Tigers will not be shown on ABC as the broadcast channel elected to keep its usual non-sports Monday night programming slate intact.

Instead of showing the Iowa vs LSU game, ABC will air an episode of "Jeopardy!" before showing new "Wheel of Fortune" and "American Idol" episodes.

The Hawkeyes enter the game as a two-point favorite to defeat the LSU Tigers on Monday night. The winner, Iowa vs LSU, will play the winner of UConn vs USC in the Final Four.
