Jawun Evans’ Final 3-Pointer Swung a Lot of Money In Vegas

Vegas, baby.

The opening line on the Oklahoma State-Michigan game was Michigan by 1 point. They won 92-91.

But that’s not the end of the story. The real narrative is this: The game moved to Michigan -2.5 by tip, and there was a LOT of public money on the Wolverines.

As of 8 a.m. PT, Oklahoma St-Michigan had attracted more than double the amount of money that had been bet on any other of today's games.

Michigan is a very public team so this was not a total surprise. Still, Vegas needed OSU to cover to not get housed by a bunch of folks in Maize and Blue.

Vegas got the dang cover.

Jawun Evans hit a long 3-pointer at the end of the game to pull OSU within 92-91 as time expired. Meaningless on the scoreboard but not in the pocketbook. Here is the shot.

And yeah, that swing is bonkers.

Last-second 3-pointer by Oklahoma St caused a six-figure swing in favor of the house at @CGTechnology_. Michigan, favored by 2.5, won 92-91.

Here is what it looked like in real life. What a call to video this as OSU brought the ball down the court!
