There is a cool bar downtown that used to host some SMU events. Maybe that place?
This week is SXSW Interactive and Film, the Music part is still two weeks away. So watching the game at a bar won't be unusually difficult. Cover 3 is a fine choice. Also recommend Abel's on the Lake (Lake Austin Blvd next to Hula Hut) and Black Sheep Lodge on South Lamar. If I were stuck downtown, I'd watch at Easy Tiger.

Happily, you don't really need a sports bar to get ESPN at 11 AM Friday when the Big XII isn't playing their semis until that evening. If you want to be walkable from South By locations, the bar in the brand-new JW Marriott at Second and Congress will have the game. So will Fado, on Fourth one block west of Congress. And a million other places nearby.
I chose Cover 3 to get him away from the SXSW crowd as they could care less about any sports and it is still close to downtown
Totally understand, just offering South By-adjacent options because of the volunteering aspect. Plus I'm stuck downtown and will be sneaking out at lunch to watch the second half!
