Iowa State, the 2-seed in the East Region, tips off its tournament run against 15-seed South Dakota State, the Summit League champs, as large 16.5 point favorites Thursday night. 

There's no doubt that Iowa State, ranked in the Top 10 in the country nearly all season, has more fire power than SDSU, but you can't sleep on the Summit champs. The Jackrabbits have tournament experience and have been on the fun-side of March Madness upset history. 

That's what makes this BetMGM new user offer so great. Bet $5 on Iowa State -16.5 (or maybe SDSU +16.5) and instantly get $150 in bonus bets regardless if you bet wins or loses.
