UConn-Arkansas live stream (3/24): How to watch March Madness’ Sweet 16 online, TV, time
Arkansas takes on UConn on Thursday, March 24, in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).
A key for Arkansas’ bid to beat UConn in the Sweet 16 will be keeping the Huskies off the glass.
UConn was one of the nation’s best rebounding teams during the regular season, averaging eight more per game than its opponents. The Huskies have been just as dominant so far in the NCAA Tournament, grabbing 16 more rebounds than Iona and nine more than Saint Mary’s.
“A lot of teams will send three to the glass and two back, but they, almost every possession they’re sending four to the glass,” Arkansas coach Eric Musselman said. “So we’ve got to do a good job defensive rebounding, and then we’ll see how that affects our transition offense as well.”
Musselman attracted national attention by taking off his shirt when the Razorbacks eliminated defending national champion Kansas on Saturday.
It’s not new — he was doing that after big victories in his previous stop at Nevada.
“I guess my emotions got the best of me,” Musselman said. “My wife’s not always happy about that. But it’s not something that we plan on doing all the time. It’s just kind of, emotions run through you.”

Arkansas and UConn plays in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA tournament at 6:15 p.m. (7:15 p.m. ET).
