What TV channel is UConn-San Diego State tonight? Free live stream

There’s no team playing better than UConn. The NCAA Tournament’s Sweet 16 is in full swing on Thursday, March 28, with UConn (33-3, 21-2 Big East) against San Diego State (26-10, 13-8 MWC). The game will be live streamed on Sling (half off first month) and DirecTV Stream (free trial).

Connecticut coach Dan Hurley won’t shy away from the notion that his team has consistently been the best in college basketball this season.

The Huskies’ 33-3 record and the dominant manner in which they’ve won along the way have proven that.

He also knows that means next to nothing as they return to the Sweet 16 still four victories away from becoming the first team since Florida in 2007 to repeat as NCAA Tournament champions.

For San Diego State coach Brian Dutcher it will be a chance to get past a UConn program that beat the Aztecs (26-10) and Kawhi Leonard in the 2011 Sweet 16 when the Huskies were led by Kemba Walker. In last year’s championship game, UConn jumped out to a 16-point lead and never let San Diego State get within fewer than five points in the second half.

This time UConn will also be playing at the Boston Celtics’ TD Garden, just 85 miles from their campus.

UConn and San Diego State play at 6:39 p.m. (7:39 p.m. ET) on Thursday, March 28.
