How to watch South Dakota State basketball without cable

Most South Dakota State games will land on the ESPN channels, a conference network or a conference streaming tier once the windows are set. Fubo carries ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, ESPNews, CBS Sports Network, ACC Network, SEC Network, Big Ten Network, FS1, ABC, CBS, FOX, NBC, and its plans include ESPN Unlimited, which covers the ESPN direct-to-consumer games a lot of college basketball ends up on. What it does not carry is TNT, TBS or truTV, which have some regular-season games and half of March Madness. YouTube TV carries all three.

Not on Fubo, or varies by market: Summit League Network (4 games), Midco Sports Plus (4 games). We won't tell you a plan covers a channel when it doesn't, and local broadcast availability depends on your ZIP, which Fubo confirms at signup.

Is the South Dakota State game on TNT, TBS or truTV?

Not so far. TNT Sports carries some regular-season college basketball and its share of March Madness alongside CBS, but none of South Dakota State's games with a channel assigned is on TNT, TBS or truTV yet. Fubo carries CBS and none of the three Turner channels, so a Fubo plan reaches about half the bracket; YouTube TV carries all three. This page names the channel for every game as soon as it is assigned.
