NCAA Tournament East Region matchup versus St. Mary’s scheduled for Thursday in Portland.
The Indiana Hoosiers men’s basketball team survived a nail-biting selection show over the weekend to make it into the “First Four” round of the March Madness NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament.
The Hoosiers (21-13) overcame a 17-point deficit against Michigan in the Big Ten Tournament, then defeated the Fighting Illini to make their case for a chance to participate in the road to the Final Four, which will take place in April at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.
Tuesday’s game against the Wyoming Cowboys (25-9) was successful for the Indiana men’s basketball team, and they will now compete against the #5 seed St. Mary’s Gales at the Moda Center in Portland, Oregon, this Thursday afternoon.
The path to the East Region’s “Sweet 16” (to be played at Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia) is expected to go through the top seed and defending champion Baylor Bears.
Indiana Sportsbooks Offer Attractive Introductory “March Madness” Bonus Packages

#3 Purdue Boilermakers vs. #14 Yale Bulldogs
Fiserv Forum in Milwaukee will be Friday’s venue for Purdue’s first round game against Yale, which won the Ivy League Tournament with a 2-point victory over Princeton on Sunday.
The Boilermakers (27-7) dropped the Big Ten championship game against Iowa, but will still enter the 2022 NCAA Tournament with a superior seeding due to its impressive regular-season resume.
Indiana Legal Sportsbooks Bring In $400 Million In February Handle
February 2022 total handle figures for legal Indiana sportsbooks decreased roughly 20% over a record-setting month in January.
Indiana state coffers received approximately $1.6 million from taxable legal sports betting activity in February, and basketball games represented roughly half of the overall wagering.
Disappointing baseball wagering numbers will surely be boosted now that the MLB regular season has been successfully negotiated, with Opening Day scheduled for April.
Revenues from legal sports betting activity in the Hoosier State are released monthly by the Indiana Gaming Commission, which is charged with formal licensing and oversight of Indiana sportsbooks.
