USC Basketball vs. Providence: Tipoff Time, Channel Listings, How to Watch Live Stream

USC basketball will take on the Providence Friars in the first round of the 2016 NCAA Tournament Thursday night at 6:50 p.m. on TBS.

USC basketball returns to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2011 with a first round match up against the Providence Friars.

Providence finished fourth in the Big East this season after amassing a 23-10 record. Though they began the season with a 14-1 start and rose as high as No. 8 in the AP poll, they could not maintain their momentum in the conference slate.

Point guard Kris Dunn has kept the Friars ticking while sophomore forward Ben Bentil leads the team in scoring with 21.2 points per game.

Tip off between USC and Utah in the Pac-12 tournament is scheduled for tonight at 6:50 p.m. PT on the TBS, though the game will not start until the conclusion of North Carolina and Florida Gulf Coast’s first round tilt.

Kevin Harlan will be on play-by-play duty while Dan Bonner and Reggie Miller will offer color commentar with Lewis Johnson covering the sidelines.

As usual the game will also be broadcast on radio by 710 ESPN and on TuneIn Radio. Chris Fisher will handle the radio call with Jordan Moore beside him as an analyst.
