What better way to close out March Madness than to wager on the games as they're being played?
Basketball bettors can use Sportingbet.com's IN:PLAY Betting for both the Final Four on Saturday and the NCAA National Championship game on Monday.
Live Betting will be available when the Michigan State Spartans, who'll have home-court advantage playing at Ford Field in Detroit, take on the No. 1 seed Connecticut Huskies on Saturday (6:07 pm ET, CBS).
Sportingbet.com has the Huskies as a 4.5-point favorite and the over/under total at 135.
Michigan State made it to the Final Four with a 64-52 upset win over the Louisville Cardinals in Indianapolis. The Spartans won as a 7-point underdog and the score went under the total of 137.5.
Connecticut held off a pesky Missouri Tigers team, winning 82-75 in the Elite Eight. The Huskies covered the 5.5-point spread, and the score went over the total of 152.
If Michigan State can pull off an upset and go on to win the National Championship, it will become the first team to win the title in its home state since the UCLA Bruins won in San Diego in 1975. Since 1999, Michigan State has had the most Final Four appearances with five. The North Carolina Tar Heels rank second with four while UConn is tied for third with three.
The Tar Heels face the Villanova Wildcats in the second Final Four matchup Saturday night (8:47 pm ET, CBS). North Carolina is an 8-point favorite and the total is 161 at Sportingbet.com.
Villanova scored 46 points in the second half and came away with a 78-76 upset over the No. 1-seed Pittsburgh Panthers in the Elite Eight. Villanova won the game as a 2-point underdog, and the score made it over the total of 141.
North Carolina defeated Oklahoma 72-60 as a 7-point favorite in the Elite Eight. The score went under the total of 163.5.
The National Championship gets underway at 9:21 pm ET on Monday (CBS).
