There isn't a tournament anywhere in the world quite like the NCAA Tournament in College Basketball. A flurry of action over the course of three weeks in venues across the country whittle 68 teams down to just one champion that will cut down the nets at one of the biggest sporting sites in the country.
Between bracket wagers, college football futures bets and game-by-game wagering, the NCAA Tournament is one of the most bet upon events every year. JustBet has resources available to bettors every step of the way in the tournament.
First Four
Ever since the expansion to 65 teams, Dayton has been where the quest to get to the Final Four begins. When the field expanded again from 65 to 68 teams, it was only logical to put each of the first four games of the tourney in the same venue at UD Arena. Don't think that any of the last four teams to get into the NCAA Tournament can't make noise. You never know when you're going to get the next VCU out of a No. 11 or No. 12 slot that can bust your bracket!
Opening Round
There isn't anything quite like the first round of the NCAA Tournament. Those first two days give college basketball bettors 32 games to get invested in. When you think of the Cinderella stories and all of the great upsets of this tournament, it's mostly action that happens in the first round. It's virtually impossible for the little guy to ultimately win the NCAA Tournament, but that bracket buster can sure wreck any team that might have a legitimate chance to cut down the nets.
Second Round
The second round of the NCAA Tournament is generally where the rubber meets the road. There always seems to be one or two double-digit seeds advancing out of this round, but for the most part, the teams that pulled off the biggest upsets are ultimately sent packing with their memories of their opening day parties. This is also the first time that the No. 1 seeds are really tested in games that are mostly against teams that were borderline Top 25 squads coming into the dance.
Sweet 16
Getting into the second week of the NCAA Tournament is tough enough, but to survive another game to get into the last eight is something that only an elite few teams can do. Even if the top seeds made it into the Sweet 16, there's no such thing as an easy game at this point. Only the strongest live into the weekend.
Elite Eight
No one ever remembers the teams that get knocked out of the NCAA Tournament in the Elite Eight, and that's why there's more pressure in this round than in any other stage of the dance. Win here, and you're off to the Final Four where you'll forever live in infamy on your campus. Losing in the Elite Eight is probably the most bitter feeling in the tourney for the four teams who get eliminated.
Final Four
Get this far, and you're officially a legend in college basketball. Sure, it's only four games that have to be won to get to this point, but the unpredictability and random acts of it all make it a dream just to get into the Final Four. The games here are played on the biggest stages, and only the best and strongest teams are generally still alive. If Cinderella has made it this far, whether it be Butler, VCU or George Mason, you'll certainly remember it for years and years to come.
National Championship Game
No one gets into the National Championship Game cheaply. To win five games in a row against top flight competition is almost impossible, and the mass majority of the teams that get this far are sporting No. 1 or No. 2 seeds. Even when teams who weren't the top seeds get this far, they're always looked back upon kindly as a squad that could have beaten anyone in the nation. To win this last game is the cherry on top. The most dramatic moments in college basketball all unfold at the National Championship Game.
