I’m old, not so much into technology, but really want to watch the game today.

Here’s how:

Go to YouTube on your TV
Type in Kentucky vs Bucknell in the search box
There will be some boxes to click on to watch a live stream
It might not be 4K quality but AT LEAST YOU CAN WATCH THE GAME

I did this with the Alabama/Arkansas St game last night

Since Steameast got shut down there are few options and almost all the Youtube streams require you to sign up and give them a credit card number. But I have found one guy that is doing live stream reactions; you'll have to put up with him talking over the broadcast and thanking people for sending him money but it's the only one I've found. It's not 4k and nothing is on Youtube even though some claim to be(Youtube only streams at a max of 250mbs and that's only if you pay the $15/month for Youtube Prime).
The channel is
SportsLiveReactions

It will be a blank screen until action tips off and during commercials

You can go to streameast site and watch also but YouTube is the easiest way if you don't got cable or whatever
I believe the US gov shut down Streameast; if they have any sites still working I'd appreciate it if somebody could post a link. Sportsurge is still working but college basketball is the one thing they don't have.

I'm watching Tennessee - Louisville on streameast now.

 
I just log in to ESPN app on my phone, find the "watch" in the scoreboard, click it, input my usual TV provider (YouTubeTV), then airplay it to my main TV.

I am going to finally tinker, however, with installing the ESPN app on my TV and seeing if that works.
 
Anyone else only being given the option for ESPN+ instead of also SECN+ when they got to the game on the ESPN app? I have YouTube TV and should have the game on SECN+, but it's trying to prompt me to log in to ESPN+. Something doesn't look right.

Try it again just worked for me.

Nevermind... it just now reset and updated with the SECN+ option.

When I clicked on the game in the ESPN app, there were two options - ESPN+ and SEC+. Choose SEC unless you want to be scammed into paying for ESPN+.
 
First time I can remember in a long time I can't just turn on my TV and watch a Kentucky game somewhere
They have been doing it for 3 or 4 years now. 2 basketball and 1 football games are streaming on ESPN app per year. Next week's football game will be streaming only.

Thanks! I did what you said and actually got a very good picture!
