Texas-Xavier live stream (3/24): How to watch March Madness’ Sweet 16 online, TV, time
Xavier and Texas get together in the NCAA tournament’s Sweet 16 on Friday, March 24. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).
Xavier’s Sean Miller has reached the Elite Eight twice, once at Arizona and once in his first stint with the Musketeers.
Then there’s Rodney Terry, the assistant-turned-savior of Texas, who not only kept the Longhorns from floundering after the firing of Chris Beard but has them thriving. The same coach that couldn’t get Fresno State out of the first round, or get UTEP into the Big Dance, has the Longhorns playing in the Sweet 16 for the first time since 2008.
At T-Mobile Center, no less, where they just cut down the nets as Big 12 champions less than two weeks ago.
