The Villanova vs Winthrop live stream is about to begin, and it sees a potential first round “Bracket Buster.” Yes, the Eagles may be drawing the Wildcats at the right time in this March Madness live stream.
If there is a #12 vs #5 upset in the making, this maybe it. Winthrop is a good basketball team that is catching Villanova in a vulnerable spot. Nova’s senior point guard and assist leader Colin Gillespie suffered a season ending MCL tear March 3rd in a win over Creighton. Since then the Wildcats lost to Providence in their regular season finale and then exited the Big East Tournament in the quarterfinal thanks to a one point loss at the hands of Georgetown.

Winthrop is in a much different spot after dominating their regular season and the Big South Tournament. The Eagles went 23-1 on the year and then took their conference title by beating Campbell by 80-53. Senior guard Chandler Vaudrin is the team leader on the court and the stat sheet. He leads the Eagles in points (12.2ppg), rebounds (7.2rpg), assists (6.9apg) and steals (1.3 spg). Sophomore big man D.J. Burns uses his 6’9 275lbs frame to provide force in the paint. Burns netted 10ppg during the regular season, but is coming off a 22 point performance in the Big South title game.
Despite Nova (16-6) missing one of their best players, the Wildcats are still favorites to win. On the court there are two main reasons for that; forwards Jeremiah Robinson-Earl, who scored a game high 26 points against Georgetown and Jermaine Samuels who netted 20 against the Hoyas. Both totals are well above their respective averages. The other reason is on the sideline, Jay Wright. The Wildcat Coach, just 59 years old, was recently named as a finalist for this year’s Basketball Hall of Fame class. That’s what happens when “Two-time National Champion” is attached to your name.
Villanova enters the game as 6.5 point favorites. The over/under is 143.
How to watch Villanova vs Winthrop live streams with a VPN
Hoops fans, if for some reason you've had to leave your own "bubble" — or you can't get TNT where you are for some strange reason — and you can't watch the North Villanova vs Winthrop live stream, you're not out of luck. With a virtual private network, or VPN, you can appear to be surfing the web from your home town (or somewhere that blackouts won't hit), and access the same streaming services you already paid for.
Not sure which VPN is right for you? We've tested many different services and our pick for the best VPN overall is ExpressVPN. ExpressVPN offers superb speeds and excellent customer service, and IPVanish's low pricing is shocking.

In the US, the Villanova vs Winthrop game airs at 9:57 p.m. ET / 6:57 p.m. PT on Friday, March 19th. You can watch it all on one of the best streaming services: Sling TV
But since Sling doesn't get you CBS (which you also need for March Madness) we suggest another route. That's pairing Paramount Plus (if time is of the essence) or one of the AirTV boxes (which are now on huge sales) with Sling to get CBS and other broadcast channels.
