Follow The Money | March 31, 2026 | Hour 2

In this second hour of 'Follow the Money' on VSiN Best Bets, Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive deep into the NCAA Tournament, with a strong focus on Michigan vs. Arizona in the Final Four. They analyze betting lines, defensive matchups, and the surprising resilience of Illinois, who have limited opponents’ free-throw attempts and excelled despite poor shooting. The hosts debate whether Michigan’s rim protection and Arizona’s lack of three-point volume make the Wolverines the better bet, even as they’re slight favorites. The conversation shifts to NBA playoff implications, with concerns about Denver’s defense, the potential for a wide-open Eastern Conference, and the surprising strength of the Pistons despite missing Cade Cunningham. Henry Abbott joins the show to discuss the MVP race, where Victor Wembanyama’s recent surge has pushed him into contention, though Abbott still favors Shai Gilgeous-Alexander. Abbott also weighs in on the rookie of the year debate, arguing that Cooper Flagg is far behind Chet Holmgren in advanced metrics. The episode closes with a lively segment on listener bets from the 'Pizzeria,' showcasing long-shot tickets that could pay out thousands, including a 2,000-to-1 Arizona national title bet. The hosts also discuss MLB’s lack of day games, with Rob Pozzola’s viral tweet calling for at least one day game daily to grow the sport’s audience.
