How to watch the Open Championship online

Starting today the greatest golfers in the world will compete in the sport’s oldest major championship: the British Open. They will assemble on Thursday on the Old Course at St. Andrews, the primordial birthplace of golf. There, on the rugged hills of Scotland, dozens of the world’s finest will compete for glory but only one will seize it.

Reigning champion Rory McIlroy will not be attending due to an ankle injury, leaving a void that any number of hungry competitors will be eager to fill. Surging American golfer Jordan Spieth is the top contender, having just won both The Masters and the U.S. Open this year. Already halfway to a Grand Slam (winning all four major tournaments in a single year) Spieth is certainly hungry to continue his streak of dominance.

Of course, there are many excellent golfers looking to claim the prize. Tiger Woods, following a disastrous appearance at the U.S. Open, will be looking for redemption at St. Andrews. Quite a few narratives will intersect at this year’s British Open, so it’s a must watch for golf fans.

As it takes place in Britain, the tee times may be a bit inconvenient for American audiences. Still, if there were ever a time to toss out your sleep schedule to watch golf, this is it.

UConn v. St. John’s: How to watch, results, and highlights
Danny Hurley holds his arms out and smiles.

What's better than a Big East showdown at the Mecca? Liam McNeeley and the UConn Huskies (18-8) head to the Garden to play RJ Luis Jr. and the No. 10 St. John's Red Storm (23-4). These two rivals squared off a few weeks ago at Gampel Pavilion. Luis scored 21 points, and his running mate, Kadary Richmond, scored 13 in St. John's impressive 68-62 victory.
UConn is the two-time defending national champions, but they haven't played up to that level all season. McNeely is one of the most talented freshmen in the country. However, the lack of leadership at the point guard position is jarring and could lead to an early exit for the Huskies from the tournament. Meanwhile, it's been a magical year for Rick Pitino at St. John's. The Hall of Fame coach will have the Red Storm in the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2018–19.
UConn is running out of chances to improve its resume, while St. John's has its eyes set on a top-four seed. Find out how to watch a live stream of the Big East matchup below, and for more coverage, read our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide.

How to watch, results, and highlights: Iowa State vs. Houston
Fans watch Houston basketball from the stands.

While the SEC gets most of the attention, the Big 12 has a strong argument for the second-best conference in the country. Saturday pits two of the conference's top teams against each other. Keshon Gilbert and the No. 8 Iowa State Cyclones (21-5) travel to Texas to play LJ Cryer and the No. 5 Houston Cougars (22-4). This will be the only regular-season meeting between the two teams.
Last month, the Cyclones lost three consecutive games, including one that involved a miraculous half-court shot. Since February 8, Iowa State has won four straight, including a 79-65 win over Colorado earlier this week. Houston has been one of the top college basketball programs over the last five years. Had their best player not been injured last year, the Cougars could have gone to the Final Four. Kelvin Sampson's Cougars are determined to make their second Final Four in five seasons.
Both teams are comfortably in the NCAA Tournament. However, each team could use another Quad 1 win to strengthen their resume. Find out how to watch the game between Iowa State and Houston. Read our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide for more February coverage.

How to watch, results and highlights: Oregon vs. Wisconsin
Fans watch from the stands as a basketball game takes place.

The Oregon Ducks (19-8) head to the Midwest to take on the No. 11 Wisconsin Badgers (21-5). The two teams are in opposite regions of the country, but due to conference realignment, both play in the Big 10. Oregon has struggled lately and ranks 8th in the Big 10. Meanwhile, Wisconsin is peaking at the right time and sits in third place within the conference.
It's been a tale of two seasons for the Ducks. On January 21, Oregon was 16-3 and cruising to a favorable seed in the NCAA Tournament. After a 3-5 stretch, the Ducks have fallen to 19-8. On the other sideline, the Badgers are one of the contenders for the Big 10 conference. Wisconsin takes care of business in their arena, with a 13-1 record at home.
Oregon desperately needs another Quad 1 win, but it will be no easy task on Saturday. Scroll below to find out how to watch the Ducks take on the Badgers. Make sure to read our NCAA men's basketball March to the Madness guide for more coverage.
