Kentucky-Kansas State live stream (3/19): How to watch March Madness online, TV, time
Kentucky and Kansas State meet Sunday, March 19, in an NCAA tournament second-round game. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).
Kentucky was back in the NCAA Tournament, seeking to move past a stunning exit a year earlier and playing with the expectations that come as one of college basketball’s blueblood programs.
Sixth-seeded Kentucky (22-11) passed its first NCAA test with Friday’s win against Providence, a performance highlighted by two-time Associated Press All-American Oscar Tshiebwe snaring 25 rebounds in an indomitable performance that marked the biggest output in the tournament since 1977.
Yet this trip has been as much about the off-court details for John Calipari, a Hall of Famer who won the 2012 NCAA title and is trying to get Kentucky back to its first Final Four since 2015.
He has mentioned the good feeling he got from listening to the players’ excited chatter amongst themselves during a team meal instead of being silently immersed in reading their cell phones or tuning out the world by putting on headphones.
And when Jacob Toppin referenced “relief” from winning that first tournament game, Calipari later circled back to point out the feeling for advancing in the NCAAs should always be joy.
When is Kentucky vs. Kansas State?
Kentucky and Kansas plays in the second round of the NCAA tournament at 1:40 p.m. (2:40 p.m. ET).
