Kansas (+10.5 at Arizona) was the second-most bet team in regards to cash. It was just the second time in the Bill Self period that the Jayhawks were a double-digit underdog. Arizona retreated for an 84-61 win to easily cover the spread.

He completed at 17 under, which was excellent for a two-shot victory. Entering into the tournament, he was +5000 to win. In pretournament outright winner wagering, he took in 2.3% of the bets and 2.8% of the cash.
