No. 14 Oakland and No. 11 NC State pulled off two of the most eye-catching shocks early in March Madness 2024.

The double-digit seeds are assured of advancing to the Sweet Sixteen. [This article will show you how to watch NC State vs. Oakland from anywhere with a VPN and for free.

Despite a great showing against Texas Tech, the sixth seed in the South, the Wolfpack have been disastrous on defense all season. However, they are intimidating enough.

Ben Middlebrooks, Mohamed Diarra, and D.J. Barnes Jr. are not averse to throwing considerable weight, so the flow of the game may largely depend on how well the Golden Grizzlies can hold their ground while remaining focused enough to play their game

Jack Go.

Jack Gork's 10 3-point shots were vital in Oakland's comeback win over Kentucky. Nevertheless, shooting from deep is probably not the worst tactic against the aforementioned three-headed monster.

Even at this early stage, Oakland is still the last-place team left in contention; read on for instructions on how to watch the live stream of the NC State-Oakland game from anywhere.

NC State vs. Oakland is shown on TBS in the United States on Saturday with tip-off set for 7:10 PM ET / 4:10 PM ET.
