Cashing Out | April 4, 2026 | Hour 2

In this episode of VSiN Best Bets' 'Cashing Out,' host Scott Sidenberg provides live analysis of the NCAA men's basketball national semifinal, where Michigan dominates Arizona 91-73 despite missing key player Yaxa Lendeborg due to injury. Sidenberg breaks down the game's analytics, emphasizing the inefficiency of mid-range shots and the dominance of three-point shooting, which Michigan leveraged effectively. He discusses his live bet on Michigan's team total over 94.5, which narrowly missed, and reflects on the implications for the upcoming national championship game between Michigan and UConn. Sidenberg highlights UConn's historic 18-1 ATS record over the past four tournaments and their 13-6 record to the under, making them a compelling underdog despite Michigan's dominant performance. He also explores early lines showing Michigan as a 7.5-point favorite, questioning whether the number is too high given Michigan's performance. The episode features insights from guest Greg Hoops Peterson, who agrees Michigan's victory was impressive but believes the spread may be inflated, and supports betting the over on the national championship total due to defensive desperation in close games. Additional segments cover MLB early-season handicapping, noting the risks of overreacting to small sample sizes, and preview upcoming college basketball games including the NIT and College Basketball Crown finals.
