Here is a site with several "pirate" sites. There are a lot of ads, and some links may not work, but I have used this site many times for lots of different events, and always found some link that allowed me to watch the game I wanted.

Loyola, Bradley, and SIU have all advanced. Ilinois State plays Indiana State next.

It could be an all-Illinois final 4!

Indiana State is keeping up with Illinois State despite the fact that Brenton Scott is having a nightmare game.
At halftime: Illinois State leads Indiana State 34-31

Scott is 0-9 in the first half, and 0-7 from three.
Jordan Barnes is having a good game. He has 14 points for Indiana State.

Just an unbelievably bad performance by Brenton Scott. He went 0-14, and 0-12 from three. He was awful in every possible way. His teammates did everything they could do, but it wasn't enough.
Illinois State held on for the 77-70 win

So it will be an all-Illinois Final Four tomorrow (Sat. 3/3)-
Bradley vs. Loyola at 2:30 PM
Illinois State vs. SIU at 5:00 PM
