(WWJ) - Fans hoping to watch No. 14 Oakland punch a ticket to what would be their first ever Sweet 16 appearance when they face off against No. 11 NC State during round two of the men's NCAA tournament have a couple different ways to do so.
The game will be available through steaming and cable networks, including FuboTV (Try for free), DirecTV Stream, Sling TV and Paramount+.
The Golden Grizzlies (20-11) will tip off against the Wolfpack (17-14) at 7:10 p.m. ET at Pittsburg's PPG Paints Arena.
The game comes after Oakland stunned 3-seed Kentucky 80-76 on Thursday, taking down the powerhouse in the biggest upset of this NCAA men's tournament so far.
They don't call it "March Madness" for nothing.
Thursday's shocker in Pittsburgh was the Golden Grizzlies first NCAA Tournament win since winning the play-in game over Alabama A&M as a 16-seed in 2005 and the school's first-ever first-round tournament win.
Oakland was led in a legendary performance by senior guard Jack Gohlke -- dubbed "Golden Gohlke" by head coach Greg Kampe -- after going 7-of-13 from distance in the first half and draining three more after halftime to finish with 32 points on 10-of-20 shooting from distance.
He finished one three-pointer shy of the NCAA Tournament single-game record.
Gohlke's shooting wasn't the only memorable takeaway as Oakland went 15-for-31 on the night, including a DQ Cole triple in the corner with 38 seconds to go that restored a two-possession lead for OU.

A few hours later, NC State had an upset of their own after they took down No. 6 Texas Tech, 80-67.
The NCAA said early Saturday morning -- after all Friday games were completed -- that all of the roughly 31 million men's brackets were busted.
Based on NCAA tourney history, the odds of advancing are in favor of NC State as only two No. 14 seeds -- Chattanooga (1997) and Cleveland St. (1989) -- have ever punched a ticket to the Sweet 16.
According to SportsLine, the Wolfpack are 6-point favorites in the latest Oakland vs. NC State odds while the over/under for total points scored is 147.5.
But Oakland beat the odds on Thursday -- and they're hungry for another win.
When called a "Cinderella team" on Thursday, Gohlke shot down the moniker, stating "when we play our 'A-game,' we can be the best team on the floor."
"We are not Cinderella," he said.
