A) Work nights and
B) Still pay for cable
(or, uh, C) have a job where watching sports is kinda required … what a life, eh?)
then kicking back and watching 67 games of college basketball over the next two-plus weeks will be no problem whatsoever.
But – it's becoming more and more common for folks to cut the cord (hey – even shave the cord). That might make it seem you'll have to scramble to take in all the March Madness.
Have no fear. There's an app for that.
As laid out by the good folks over at wired.com it's remarkably easy (and legal) to watch any NCAA tournament game you wish. The NCAA is once again streaming every game on the March Madness Live app. It's readily available. And very much free.
On the app you'll find scores, statistics and an updated bracket at the simple tap of a fingertip. If you're like some of us who still pay cable companies, log in with your billing information and all the action is right there. (If not, find a buddy who does … there's more of us plugged-in old-timers out there than you might think).
Wait - What's that? Your boss has eyes like Scrooge McDuck spotting a shiny penny? No worries. You can also listen to every game for free via the app. So run that earbud up your dress shirt sleeve and best of luck!
