Acke details how to keep up with the NCAA tournament while at school

March can be a difficult time for high schoolers; the ACT is coming up and the semester is starting to wind down. March is a stressful time for all, but nothing is more stressful than filling out the perfect NCAA tournament bracket for March Madness, and not being able to watch the tournament’s live action.

There are many apps that can help one keep up with the tournament while they are at school, while not disturbing others around him or her because we all know that in March, the NCAA tournament reigns supreme.

1.) NCAA March Madness Live

 

This app is perfect to keep up with multiple games at the same time. It allows one to watch any live game and has easy access to switch between games. This app also works on any computer if you do not have access to a cell phone or if your teacher is feeling generous and wants to play the game on the smart board.

2.) DIRECTV, DISH Anywhere, or any other TV provider app

These apps allow one to watch any channel of live TV on their phone, which could come in handy during the NCAA tournament. The only drawback with these kinds of apps is that you have to be a customer of these TV providers.

3.) ESPN Tournament Challenge

The app that most people created their bracket with is also a good way to keep updated with the games going on. Although you can’t watch any games through this app, you can still have up-to-date information by the constantly refreshing scores the app provides.

Some teachers may not allow you to keep up with the tournament during their class and if that is the case then you will just have to wait. With that being said, some teachers may be kind and allow you to watch some of the games during class. Just remember to be respectful and hopefully some of these apps will allow you to monitor your chosen teams’ journey down the bracket path.
