If you have VLC 2.0.5 there's a great quality stream. Copy the following link, paste it into VLC and press play.

January 30th, 2013 at 6:47 PM ^

January 30th, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
Can I ask how you found that? for future reference.
January 30th, 2013 at 6:52 PM ^
Found it before the Illinois game over at Wiziwig:

These links have been there for a while but the Illinois game is the first time it worked for me.
January 30th, 2013 at 6:57 PM ^
Downloaded the new VLC player on my desktop but can't get the link to function.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:04 PM ^
I'm on a desktop too. I just pressed ctrl+v and clicked play and it worked.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:11 PM ^
Seriously, thank you for this. At first I was pissed that this didn't work, but then I chilled out and realized I had to paste it in the stream section, under network.
Thanks I really appreciate this.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:20 PM ^
Dude freaking awesome! It works great for me!
Except, it keeps freezing every 5 seconds for some reason...any idea how to make this stop?
January 30th, 2013 at 7:30 PM ^
There are some settings adjustments here:
http://forum.wiziwig.eu/threads/81008-Week-13-NCAA-Men-s-Basketball-201…
1st, Open VLC 2.0.5. Go to Tools > Preferences
Select the radio button "Show Settings" - All (near the bottom)
Select input/codecs.
Scroll down to advanced, and change the value for Network Caching to 5000 (ms).
This helps to prevent dropped frames and provides a more stable stream.
Also you probably need a pretty fast internet connection.
January 30th, 2013 at 7:33 PM ^
Ahhhh...I was looking for that. Thanks! That def helps!
January 30th, 2013 at 7:47 PM ^

January 30th, 2013 at 6:45 PM ^
January 30th, 2013 at 6:43 PM ^
Yay Defense!
January 30th, 2013 at 6:43 PM ^

DAMN YOU FIRSTROW Vipbox is also a no-go for me
January 30th, 2013 at 6:49 PM ^
I've never gotten a stream to work with a BTN game...
January 30th, 2013 at 6:47 PM ^
I guess he is just a three point shooter...
January 30th, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
Anyone know of a stream that's working for people outside the USA? Thanks!
January 30th, 2013 at 6:52 PM ^
I'm not sure if it is a feasible option for you, but someone above posted a link for VLC players.
AFAIK, VLC are free to download.
January 30th, 2013 at 6:48 PM ^
I am having trouble finding a good stream, both Firstrow and VIP do not have the game up yet.
January 30th, 2013 at 6:52 PM ^
I gave up and went with the radio from mgoblue.com
January 30th, 2013 at 6:57 PM ^
My VLC stream stops and buffers for a split-second every 5-6 seconds. Is this normal?
