Surprisingly (at least to me), these streams appear to be free even without an ESPN subscription. I'm watching the San Diego match without being logged in. If that continues to be the case, then ESPN having all the first- and second-round matches is probably just a strict upgrade. Are you on a college internet network or military base? Or VPN with one of those 2 networks? |

I guess I am logged into my ESPN account (e.g. for their bracket challenge), but I wasn't prompted to enter any cable or satellite information like I was expecting. The match just loaded right up. I'm now watching the Pepperdine match. I suppose it's possible that it just recognizes that my internet provider is Xfinity, and it's just included because of that. That doesn't usually work for ESPN3, though. |

So I guess maybe it isn't actually free. In the past, it seems like I haven't been able to get ESPN3 without providing cable or satellite information, but maybe that's changed or maybe it just depends on what the event being streamed is. |

Social distancing in those bleachers is a farce

Does anyone know if they are doing temp checks or any sort of screening for fans who attend?

Some of these streams are a bit glitchy, so I hope that gets figured out soon.

So rude for four of the best second round matches tomorrow to be
1. At 10:30 PM eastern
2. All at the same time
WKU vs WSU, Rice vs. PSU, UCLA vs. BYU, Utah vs. Pitt

All at the same time WKU vs WSU, Rice vs. PSU, UCLA vs. BYU, Utah vs. Pitt They should have made half of the T4 seeds play at 1030 and half of the bottom 4 seeds play at 7pm. This could have been adjusted in the first round too to make sure that all of the first round winners still play at the same time as their first round match was. |

Video quality and video angles have been terrific so far!

This is a good lesson in managing expectations. I was expecting BallerTV shot with an iPad on a stand with games played in silence. I’ve been pleasantly surprised. Set your expectations way low and you will rarely be disappointed!
