The Houston vs. Oregon State live stream is here, and it may give us exactly what we're all looking for in a great tournament: a spectacular, bracket-busting upset. This March Madness live stream is No. 12 - seeded Oregon State, challenging second-place Houston for entry into the Final Four, is much further along than people expected.

And history shows just how rare this is: no 12-seed has made it to the Elite Eight since Missouri in 2002. Of course, the Tigers lost to Oklahoma. And then watch the live stream of Baylor vs. Arkansas.

Houston Cougars, Quentin Grimes is about to lead the fight to keep Oregon State out of the history books. Averaging 18.1 points, 6.0 rebounds, and 1.9 assists, Grimes led the team with 14 points in the Sweet 16 round against Syracuse. Other contributors include Marcus Sasser (13.3 ppg) and Dejon Jallow (10.9 ppg, 5.3 rebounds per game).

Oregon State will need a big game from senior guard Ethan Thompson (15.6 ppg, 3.8 assists/game), who has led the team so far, to win. The only other player averaging double figures is guard Jarrod Lucas (13 ppg). Does that mean Houston can win by letting Thompson pass and not letting him shoot? We'll see.

Houston enters today's game as an 8-point favorite. The over/under is 130.5.

Hoops fans, if for some reason you have to leave your "bubble" or for some odd reason you can't get CBS or Paramount Plus, the live stream of Houston vs. Oregon State you may not be able to watch the game, you are not out of luck. Using a virtual private network, or VPN, you can pretend you're surfing the web from your hometown (or anywhere else that doesn't experience power outages) and access the same streaming services you've already paid for.

Not sure which VPN is right for you? We tested a variety of services and chose ExpressVPN as the best VPN overall; ExpressVPN offers great speed, excellent customer service, and IPVanish's low pricing is shocking.

In the US, the Houston vs. Oregon State game will be broadcast today (March 29) at 7:15 PM ET / 4:15 PM ET on CBS. You can watch it on our favorite streaming service fuboTV or on the newest streaming service, Paramount Plus.

However, since neither of these services allow us to watch the other three March Madness channels (TBS, TNT, and truTV), we recommend a different route. That is to get these three channels from Sling TV, the other best streaming service, and combine it with a means of getting CBS. If time is of the essence, Paramount Plus can be used, but the pair of agreements described below will help connect CBS to Sling.

American basketball fans who cannot watch tournaments while traveling may need to check out a service like ExpressVPN.

We don't know how many college basketball games will be broadcast on TSN, but we do know that there will be some tournament matchups. For example, TSN lists the Elite 8 coverage as starting today at 7 p.m. ET. Perfectionists stuck in Canada with no way to watch the matches on services they already subscribe to will need to use a VPN service such as ExpressVPN, just like those in the UK.
