How to watch Baylor vs Arkansas: live stream March Madness from anywhere
We have a mouthwatering prospect on our hands today, as two former Southwest Conference rivals face off in what could well be the most evenly matched and fiercely contested game of the Elite Eight. Read on as we explain how to get a Baylor vs Arkansas live stream and watch March Madness from anywhere in the world – don’t miss a single moment of the NCAA basketball tournament.
The Razorbacks have been March Madness’ can’t-miss attraction, scraping through each of the last two rounds by just two points.
This is the first time they’ve made the Elite Eight stage since 1995, and anyone who watched their latest comeback win may be tempted to think they might be destined to go all the way. The No. 3 seed overcame a double-digit deficit to surge to an unlikely victory, shooting just one of nine from three in the process in a game that went all the way to the buzzer.
In the end it was comfortable but the Bears also left it late against Villanova, with the defense coming good to fuel a second-half comeback. Davion Mitchell put up 14 points to rescue the No. 1 seed, which will be hoping for a much-improved showing from star man Jared Butler, who made just one of nine 3-point attempts.
It’s poised beautifully, so follow our guide below to tune into a March Madness live stream and watch Baylor vs Arkansas online from anywhere – including some great ways to watch March Madness free online in certain countries, if you draw up the right play.
