RICHMOND, Va. — The VCU Rams begin the march to the Final Four Friday afternoon versus the Oregon State Beavers. The game is scheduled to tip at 1:30 p.m. on TNT. If you do not have cable, or are stuck at work without access to a television, you can still watch the Rams play their First Round game — thanks to NCAA March Madness Live.

TNT channels:

Comcast: 34, 825
FIOS: 51, 511
DirecTV: 245
Dish: 138

The NCAA is streaming the basketball games online.

“If you can borrow a cable sign in then you are good to go. If not, you can try opening a Chrome incognito window and watching the game on the NCAA website and then closing the the page and re-opening another incognito page to watch the next game,” Inform.com suggested. “There are other not so legal options but the best workaround is to try out the app with a shared cable account password.”

Here is the official information from the NCAA website:
