Does anyone know of a good place to watch the NCAA tournament in West London?

Or how about a good place online? CBS tells me that I am 'geo-restricted' from watching their online broadcasts. I used to use tvpc.com, but now when I try to go there, it times out.

I was just about to post on this topic and ask what viewing options exist over there. Does espn carry the rights in the UK?

I'm soaking it in one last time from the US  :-[

Last I checked, the NCAA website was geographically restricted so only viewers in the US could stream the games, even after paying the $4..


Edit: Actually, just tried, and it won't even let me sign up because I'm outside of the US.  From their Q&A section:
Quote
Can I watch the games streamed live outside of the US?
The NCAA® March Madness® service is accessible by US viewers who are current subscribers to a partner TV service provider and have this network as part of their channel package. The games cannot be viewed outside of the US.

:(

Having said that, I'm thinking I'll have the boyfriend set me up a proxy/vpn thing so I can hopefully watch the games.  Anybody have a favorite one?

I've found www.firstrowsports.eu to be a good site for live sports from around the world.

I wouldn't call it a good place, but if you want to watch NCAA games (and just about any other American sport) at a bar in London, there's always Sports Cafe on Haymarket. They're showing March Madness games live for a five pound cover regardless what time they start. But it might actually make you feel like you're back at college... http://www.thesportscafe.com/london [nofollow]

Debating whether or not to head out there for the UK vs Louisville game on Saturday myself.

March Madness 2013  :D

Belushi's bars are showing the NCAA games live this year - even the late games as some of their bars don't close until 3am!

Saw it on here  newcomer link: http://www.belushis.com/blog/march-madness [nonactive]

Also looks like they serve drinks and do awesome American food right up until closing!
