College Basketball Betting in South Dakota
Like college football, college basketball is heavily restricted: no betting on in-state teams (SDSU, USD, etc.), and no individual player props for any college player. March Madness is still a major handle event but only for games that don't involve SD-based programs.
SD-Specific Rules
If SDSU makes March Madness, none of their games can be bet on in SD — they simply won't appear on the odds board. Out-of-state matchups are fully available.
