North Texas looks to move one step closer to its second NIT title in the last three years while Oklahoma State continues its quest to become the first Big 12 team since Texas in 2019 to win the NIT.

North Texas and Oklahoma State are both in the top 100 in the Pomeroy basketball database so this quarterfinal could be a matchup worthy of the NIT title game.

The teams met in the 2023 NIT quarterbacks, with North Texas winning in overtime when listed by the BetUS sportsbook as a 4.5-point underdog. The game finished over the 121.5-point total.

The teams met eight times from 1997 to 2014 with Oklahoma State going 7-1 outright and 5-2-1 against the spread.

The college basketball lines list the game as a pick’em with a berth in the NIT semifinals at stake.

 

North Texas vs Oklahoma State Prediction Today March 25

My prediction

North Texas 68, Oklahoma State 65

North Texas won its only college basketball game this season against a team from the Power-4 conferences this season with a 54-51 win over Minnesota. Oklahoma State is 6-2 against mid-major teams after beating Wichita State in its NIT opener.

North Texas is 48th nationally in defensive rating according to the Pomeroy basketball database. Per North Texas vs Oklahoma State stats, the Mean Green held their last 21 opponents under 70 points.

Oklahoma State began the season at +25000 in the odds to win the NCAAB championship. What will the number look like next season if the Cowboys win the NIT?

I am always a little reluctant to ride with a team from the Power-4 conferences when they play in a postseason tournament other than the NCAA tourney. You see bizarre results from teams in football bowl games that aren’t part of the College Football Playoffs and the same line of reasoning holds true when an NIT between a team from the Big 12 and American Athletic Conference has a Pick’em spread.

My Analysis

It is hard to find a more mediocre team than Oklahoma State. The Cowboys needed to win the first two March Madness games in the NIT bracket just to get to the .500 mark. They haven’t won three games in a row since the first three matchups of the season.

When making NCAAB picks, keep in mind that Oklahoma State is 8-8 against the spread at home and 6-5 as the home favorite. North Texas is 6-4-2 against the college basketball odds on the road.

Give a long look the -143 odds for Thompson to have at least 19 points when considering college basketball prop bets.
