Kansas (+10.5 at Arizona) was the second-most bet group in terms of money. It was just the 2nd time in the Bill Self era that the Jayhawks were a double-digit underdog. Arizona retreated for an 84-61 win to quickly cover the spread.


In the NBA on Sunday, the Spurs (+1.5 at New York City) were the most wager group to cover in terms of variety of bets and the second-most bet team in terms of money. The Knicks blew out San Antonio 114-89.


On the PGA Tour, Nico Echavarria won the Cognizant Classic for his third PGA Tour triumph. He tracked by 3 shots with three holes to play, but Shane Lowry made back-to-back double bogeys to permit Echavarria to come from behind and win. He completed at 17 under, which was good for a two-shot success. Going into the competition, he was +5000 to win. In pretournament straight-out winner betting, he took in 2.3% of the bets and 2.8% of the cash.
