Wow, what a storyline. In his final season, legendary coach Mike Krzyzewski’s (“Coach K”) Duke Blue Devils get another shot at their arch rivals, the UNC Tar Heels, and this time it’s on college basketball’s biggest stage, at the Final Four in New Orleans.
UNC’s win over Duke to end the regular season was Coach K’s last game at Cameron Indoor Stadium. That game was the most watched college basketball contest of the season, and this weekend’s winner take all show down will be sure to draw record viewership as well. In this post, I will walk you through the best options for watching the Duke vs. UNC game live without cable.
TBS will carry the Final Four cover to cover
The first thing to know is that Turner Sports is increasingly a player in the sports world. TNT features NHL hockey, including some Stanley Cup playoff games, and is already famous for its excellent NBA coverage. Now, TBS has the rights to broadcast the entire men’s Final Four. While I don’t love major American sporting events being carried exclusively on cable TV, you have to admire the way Turner is making inroads into the games that people want to see the most. In the table below, we have laid out each live TV streaming service that carries TBS, as well as whether they currently are offering a free trial.
