NEW YORK CBS Sportsline.com said today that is offering high-speed Internet users live streaming video of up to 37 games in the first three rounds of the National Collegiate Athletic Association basketball tournament for $9.95.

The “March Madness on Demand” Webcasts, also available at NCAAsports.com, will mirror the network television viewing experience by carrying commercials during the normal broadcast breaks.
