In this episode of VSiN Best Bets' 'Follow the Money,' hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into the Final Four and NBA betting landscape, featuring insights from longtime Davidson head coach Bob McAuliffe and guest analyst Greg Hoops Peterson. McAuliffe shares personal anecdotes about Steph Curry’s development, emphasizing his unmatched work ethic, imagination in practice, and mental toughness, while also reflecting on the missed opportunity by the Minnesota Timberwolves to draft him. The discussion shifts to college basketball, with Peterson breaking down key matchups including Michigan vs. Arizona and UConn vs. Illinois, advocating for Arizona and UConn based on consistency, turnover advantages, and team depth. The hosts also explore the controversial proposal to expand March Madness to 76 teams, adding eight more games to the First Four, sparking debate over the erosion of the tournament’s integrity and the rise of 'bubble' teams from power conferences. The episode concludes with betting picks for MLB, including a strong recommendation on the Oakland A's money line against the Astros, and a critical view of the expansion plan as a threat to the sport’s tradition and excitement.
