NCAA tournament 2018: Texas A&M vs. Providence live stream, score updates, time, TV channel

The 2018 NCAA tournament continues on Friday, March 16, with a West Regional game between No. 7 seed Texas A&M and No. 10 Providence at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte, North Carolina.

The Aggies (20-12) face the Friars (21-13) at 11:15 a.m. Central (12:15 p.m. Eastern) on CBS. The winner of the game faces the North Carolina-Lipscomb winner on Sunday.

Live streaming for the NCAA tournament is available via NCAA March Madness Live.

Preview

BOTTOM LINE: The Aggies were up and down all year (peaked at No. 5 in the AP Top 25, but started 0-5 in the Southeastern Conference) and now face the Friars, who have wins against 1-seeds Xavier (twice) and Villanova this season.

HIT THE BOARDS: Texas A&M ranks 23rd nationally in rebounding margin (plus-5.9) behind Tyler Davis and Robert Williams. Undersized Providence will have to figure out a way to hang with the Aggies on the boards. "That's the scouting report," Friars guard Kyron Cartwright said, "box out."

TOURNEY STREAK: Providence is making its fifth straight trip to the NCAAs, while Texas A&M is in for the second time in three seasons.

DID YOU KNOW: Providence won an NCAA game in the state of North Carolina two years ago, beating USC on a final-seconds layup in the first round in Raleigh.
