In this final hour of Money Moves on April 3, 2026, hosts Femi Abebefe and Jonathan Von Tobel dive deep into the NCAA Final Four, focusing on the highly anticipated matchup between Arizona and Michigan. Former Arizona Wildcat and NBA player Tom Tolbert joins the show, praising Tommy Lloyd’s leadership, player development, and the Wildcats’ physical, 'smash mouth' style of play. Tolbert emphasizes the importance of team buy-in and freedom on offense, while both hosts debate the game’s potential outcome, highlighting officiating, foul trouble, and free-throw rate as key factors. The conversation shifts to NBA developments, including Luka Doncic’s potential eligibility for All-NBA honors if he files a grievance after missing games due to paternity leave, and Victor Wemby’s looming Defensive Player of the Year race if he fails to reach 65 games. The hosts also preview MLB action, with strong bets on Gunnar Henderson’s home run prop and Illinois’ moneyline, while expressing cautious optimism about Michigan’s national title chances. The episode closes with a discussion on the NFL Draft, analyzing Arvel Reese’s projected top-2 pick status and the risks of quarterback desperation in early rounds.
