March Madness Apps

NCAA Sports is the official Turner Sports iPhone app, and a good one to start checking in to get coverage when March Madness begins. Tournament updates and highlights are just some of what this app provides that you may miss due to your daily work schedules. It also features social plugins to trash talk with other fans. The app has recently updated to include a "watch live" button, so during the tournament, be sure to click on it. You'll be directed to the game that you desire to watch via NCAA Sports' NCAA March Madness Live and universal app.
