The hype is real! After his father Lebron James won the first-ever NBA Cup trophy with the LA Lakers, Bronny James is set to play his first men’s college basketball game as a freshman combo guard for USC on Sunday — according to the Los Angeles Times. And since the game is entirely sold out, the only way to watch the game is on TV.

The game will be broadcast on Pac-12 Network. Cord cutters can watch the match on any live TV streaming service that carries the cable sports network, including Fubo and Sling.
