The last of the play-in games in the 2025 NCAA Tournament is Wednesday night when the Xavier Musketeers play the Texas Longhorns. The winner will advance as the no. 11 seed in the Midwest Region and play Illinois on Friday.
As the final game before the Round of 64 kicks off on Thursday, the Xavier-Texas game is the perfect opportunity to use the code WSN365 and bet365 Sportsbook and collect $150 in bonus bets to use for the rest of the tournament. At bet365, you also have the option of having a safety net of up to $1,000 on your first bet.
If you’ve never signed up with bet365 Sportsbook before, you are eligible for their current welcome offer. Just sign up for a new account using the cod WSN365. You’ll then have the option of placing a $5 bet to receive $150 in bonus bets or having a safety net of $1,000 on your first bet.
That first bet can be placed on any sporting event available at bet365, including Wednesday’s play-in game between Xavier and Texas. If you take the $150 in bonus bets, you’ll receive those bonus funds whether you win or lose your first bet. Meanwhile, if you choose the safety net on your first bet, bet365 will give you a bonus bet equal to your wager up to $1,000 if you lose your first bet. Both are good options with bet365 letting you choose between them.
Even though you have two options, the sign-up process with bet365 is easy. Just follow these steps to create an account and claim your bet365 March Madness promo:

Xavier is a slight favorite in Wednesday’s game. Here are the current odds according to bet365 Sportsbook:
Team | Spread | Moneyline | Over/Under |
---|---|---|---|
Xavier Musketeers | -3 (-110) | -155 | Over 149.5 (-110) |
Texas Longhorns | +3 (-110) | +130 | Under 149.5 (-110) |

Of the two teams, Xavier enters this game with more momentum. The Musketeers won eight games in a row before losing to Marquette in the Big East Tournament quarterfinals. The Musketeers also have the more experienced team, as five of Xavier’s top seven scorers are seniors, including leading scorer Zach Freemantle and point guard Dayvion McKnight.
However, despite a late-season winning streak, the Musketeers went just 3-7 this season against teams in the NCAA Tournament.
Texas, meanwhile, is the more battle-tested team coming out of the SEC, which put 14 teams into the field of 68. Of course, the Longhorns were just 6-12 in SEC play during the season. Overall, Texas played 20 games against teams in the field of 68 but only went 7-13. The Longhorns also rely heavily on freshman Tre Johnson, who is their leading scorer and will be making his NCAA Tournament debut.
Even with some veteran role players supporting Johnson, Xavier’s experience will be the difference against a Texas team that has just four wins in its last 12 games.
