Michigan State-USC live stream (3/17): How to watch March Madness online, TV, time

Michigan State and USC face off Friday, March 17 to start Day 2 of the first round of the NCAA tournament. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).

While preparing his No. 10 seed Trojans (22-10) for their first-round East Region matchup against the No. 7 seed Spartans (19-12), USC coach Andy Enfield believes his team has improved more than any other during his tenure in Los Angeles. The season opened with a 74-61 home loss to FGCU — yes, that FGCU — bringing criticism to the 53-year-old Enfield and a team always in UCLA’s shadow.

But after a 4-3 start, the Trojans won seven straight and finished 14-6 in the Pac-12. USC lost to Arizona State in its first game in the conference tournament, but Enfield likes how his team is playing.

On Friday, USC will meet a Michigan State team has grown even closer following the on-campus tragedy when a gunman killed three students and wounded five more.
