Ochai Agbaji dropped 21 points on 6-of-8 shooting, 6-of-7 from 3-point range in the Final Four game Saturday night versus Villanova helping the Kansas Jayhawks advance to the Championship game against North Carolina Monday night.
Agbaji was listed at -157 to make 3+ 3-pointers in the Championship game and the payout only get better from there. 4+ pays $27.50 for every $10 bet. 5+ pays $74 and if he has another night like Saturday's, that's a $140 pay day on a $10 bet.
“I think how we shoot, it in large part, probably depends on Ochai in many ways,” KU coach Bill Self told the media Saturday evening. Agbaji broke a Final Four record by hitting 6-of-7 from 3-point range on the way to 21 points, so how do you it went for the rest of the Jays? They were 13-of-24 and stormed to an 81-65 victory over the Wildcats.
“The start he got us off on,” Self said, “I think he just gave everybody else confidence.”
“The Final Four is cool. Playing for the national title is even better," said Agbaji immediately following that win. "It’s wild because we always talk about it. This is what you want in the summer. Everyone is kind of ‘national championship, national championship.’ Every player at every school can say ‘national championship’ in the summer. To actually be in the game and be in this moment is surreal now,” said Agbaji.
