Episode notes
Big 12 Depth Losses Open The Tournament Wide
- Big 12 futures are wide because injuries removed depth from Texas Tech and BYU, making Arizona priced around even money but not invincible.
- Stuckey stresses injury-driven depth loss as the major reason the league is more open.
Target Kansas Futures At Attractive Price
- Back Kansas at about 8-1 because the draw is favorable and Peterson has stabilized minutes.
- Greg cites Allen Fieldhouse crowd, improved rotation, and manageable path through TCU and Houston as the rationale.
Cincinnati Offers Upset Path Against Arizona
- Cincinnati is a high-upside longshot to upset Arizona because they can alter game style and 'ugly it up' defensively.
- Christian recommends Cincy as a longshot at big prices since they present matchup problems for Arizona.
