No. 5-seeded San Diego State made it to the Final Four round of March Madness live streams by doing something three other teams did: knocking out a No. 1-seeded team. Yes, the madness is particularly strong this March, and the Aztecs' path was through the overall top-seeded Alabama, in a seven-point win last Friday.

As for the No.9-ranked Florida Atlantic (aka FAU), the Owls' most Elite Eight action saw them upset the No. 3 Kansas State Wildcats, 79-76.

SD State (-150) are the moneyline favorites according to DraftKings, so you'd need to bet $150 to win $100. FAU +(130) is only a slight underdog. Why is that? 

Well, for as strong as FAU guard Johnell Davis' shooting is (17.2 points and 7.8 boards average during the tournament), SD State offers a smothering defense. And, yes, you don't beat No. 1-ranked Alabama and not become a favorite.

It appears that (as was the case in previous years) Kayo Sports is your best bet for Aussie streaming services serving up March Madness live streams.
