UConn-Miami live stream (3/26): How to watch March Madness’ Final Four online, TV, time

When the UConn Huskies tip off against Miami on Saturday, April 1, in the NCAA Final Four, they will be two wins away from their fifth national title since 1999. No other school has won more over that span. The game will be live streamed on fuboTV (free trial) and Paramount+ (free trial).

When the name “UConn” came up with a “4″ seed next to its name three weekends ago on Selection Sunday, nobody raised too much of a stink. Four wins later — after no opponent came within 15 points of the Huskies — it’s becoming apparent this is a team that might have been overlooked. Or underestimated.

UConn (29-8) ended the regular season listed eighth in the NCAA NET Rankings, a key guide for the selection committee that rates teams based on the strength of their schedules and other factors. That would’ve put UConn at a 2 seed.

Meanwhile, Miami (29-7) was 35th in those rankings, which would’ve corresponded with a 7 seed, not the 5 the Hurricanes received.

Their run to the Final Four has been sparked by one player, Isaiah Wong, whose agent put out word that Wong was considering the transfer portal if he couldn’t get a better NIL deal, and a few others, Nijel Pack and Norchad Omier, who came from elsewhere to help Larrañaga fill in a few pieces from a team that made the Elite Eight last year. Many viewed an NIL deal worth a reported $800,000 as an obvious reason Pack left Kansas State and chose the Hurricanes.

When is UConn-Miami?

UConn and Miami play in the Final Four of the NCAA tournament at 7:49 p.m. (8:49 p.m. ET) on Saturday, April 1.
