FAYETTEVILLE — The start time for Arkansas' NCAA regional game against Manhattan will be delayed by at least two hours Friday.

The game will tentatively begin at 2:05 p.m. at Bogle Park. The game will be televised by SEC Network.

The game was scheduled to begin at noon, but rain in the area forced the delay.

Arkansas (40-9) is hosting a regional for the second time in program history. As the No. 6 national seed, the Razorbacks can earn a home super regional if they advance past their double-elimination regional field that also includes South Dakota State and Stanford.

Manhattan (22-14) earned an NCAA Tournament berth by winning the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference Tournament. The Jaspers are in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 1999.
