TV Options for Watching

I thought I saw this in another thread but I thought the game tonight was on one of the ESPN channels in addition to TRU TV. I'm not seeing it on my schedule. I don't get TRU TV. Second question, are a bunch of other tourney games just going to be on TRU TV? If so I guess I might need to purchase it. I'll be watching from home a lot and want to be able to watch whatever games want.

I signed up for a 10 day trial of YouTube TV, which has Tru TV. One of these years I'm going to run out of free trials...

Games are assigned to one of 4 networks... CBS, TruTV, TBS, TNT. I don't get CBS through antenna and the rest aren't included in Fubo. But, we do have a Paramount Plus and Max subscription. The CBS games will be streaming on Paramount and the rest will be streaming on Max (with B/R sports package)

This site explains it pretty well:

In addition to Paramount Plus (CBS games) and HBO Max (TBS, TNT, and TruTV games) there's also the March Madness Live app which you can sign into with your login information for basically any TV provider. The app is what I'll be using to maintain my normal 100% productivity levels at work tomorrow and Friday.

All of the men's games will be on CBS, TruTV, TNT, and TBS, as well as the CBS games being on Paramount+ and the other games being on Max. You can also watch on the March Madness Live app.

All of the women's games will be on the ESPN family of networks.

It's been like this for years, and will be like this for years.

And I highly recommend going to reddit.com/r/collegebasketball , a poster there posts the TV schedule every single day
