Here's how to live stream tonight's VCU-Wichita State NCAA Tournament game and watch it online.

Though the five-seed, Wichita State, is the favorite to win this first-round March Madness game, be on the watch for a scrappy game, as both teams are fighting to stay in the Big Dance.

Virginia Commonwealth University proved itself last year by making it from the First Four play-in games to the Final Four. And the Wichita State Shockers are probably the better selection, as far as conventional methods of evaluation go.

But you can't count VCU out. The Rams are looking for another deep NCAA Tournament run this year, and the school's P.R. team took out a newspaper ad in the Washington Post's Monday edition stating that the school is back to bust your bracket again. Don't be surprised if the Rams do just that if you make the choice to second-guess VCU this year.

The game starts at 7:15 p.m. this evening, and all you have to do to watch the showdown between VCU and Wichita State is visit this link to be taken to the NCAA's official website.

Once you cough up the $4, you can watch every single game just as cable subscribers do, and you also get to use the app to follow other games, follow along withTwitter updates, and take advantage of other fun features, including the boss button, which turns the game into a faux email when you click it.

This is the only way to ensure you stay on top of everything that happens to your bracket, and to do as well as you can in your office pool.

It's that simple to enjoy March Madness from the comfort of your computer, iPad, iPhone or Android-equipped device.
