Nebraska-Texas A&M free live stream: How to watch March Madness online, TV, time

No. 8 seed Nebraska meets No. 9 Texas A&M in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Friday, March 22. The game will be live streamed on Sling (half off first month) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

Nebraska has the dubious distinction of being the only Power Five program to have never won a game in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

The Cornhuskers earned a No. 8 seed in the South Region and will get their chance to break through in Memphis. It will be Nebraska’s first appearance since 2014 and eighth overall.

The Huskers (23-10) have their most wins since Danny Nee’s 1990-91 team went 26-8. The turnaround has happened under Hoiberg, who was on the hottest of hot seats two years ago after going 24-67 in his first three seasons.

Keisei Tominaga, nicknamed the “Japanese Stephen Curry” and the team’s leading scorer, arrived last year and has become the most recognizable player. His joyful displays when he makes 3-pointers makes him the biggest personality on a team with no projected NBA draft picks.

When is Nebraska-Texas A&M?

Nebraska and Texas A&M play at 5:50 p.m. (6:50 p.m. ET) on Friday, March 22.
