Sunday, March 29 completed the Elite Eight phase and moved the tournament into a shorter, higher-focus Final Four pricing window.
Why this remains live news on Monday
NCAA's official bracket now points directly to the April 4 Final Four date, while Monday itself has no new men's games. That pause shifts market attention from single-game volatility to semifinal positioning and futures repricing.
How the market structure changes this week
With only two semifinal matchups left, pricing clusters around a smaller pool of outcomes. This usually tightens headline outright prices but can create temporary differences between futures and game-by-game numbers.
Practical betting angle before semifinal week
The gap between the Elite Eight finish and Saturday tip-off gives bettors time to compare books before liquidity peaks later in the week.
