Xavier-Pitt live stream (3/19): How to watch March Madness online, TV, time
Xavier and Pitt 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).
Third-seeded Xavier survived a scare from tournament first-timer Kennesaw State, the 14 seed, after battling back from 13 points down with 9 1/2 minutes to go. The Musketeers needed a game-saving block from 7-foot center Jack Nunge in the final seconds to advance.
“I feel like the last 15 minutes really woke us up,” Xavier’s Colby Jones said. “And that’s what we talked about, that’s how we need to play the rest of the tournament.”
The Musketeers went through a similar scenario in the Big East Tournament, needing a rally to beat DePaul in the quarterfinals. Xavier beat Creighton in the semis before losing in the title game to Marquette.
Xavier meets another upset-minded team in 11th-seeded Pittsburgh, which has already won two tournament games. The Panthers beat Mississippi State in the First Four before shutting down No. 6 seed Iowa State 59-41.

Xavier and Pitt plays in the second round of the NCAA tournament at 11:10 a.m. (12:10 p.m. ET).
