North Texas vs UC Irvine Same Game Parlay Picks For NIT Semifinals 2025

You must select your winner first before making a bet on the virtual pick’em matchup between the UC Irvine Anteaters and the North Texas Mean Green in the NIT semifinals on Tuesday at famed Hinkle Fieldhouse in Indianapolis.

North Texas is the favorite in the odds to win the NIT Championship (+180) and UC Irvine is second at +225. Both teams play pretty good defense, but the over/under numbers are low enough to make a bet on more offense than usual.

The Mean Green are a 1½-point favorite in the college basketball odds and showed some guts with a 61-59 win at Oklahoma State in the quarterfinals. The Anteaters needed overtime to turn back UAB 81-77 at home in their last win.

1. UC Irvine Moneyline (Ev)

UC Irvine was disappointed after losing to UC San Diego in the Big West title game, but that team almost beat Big Ten champion Michigan in the first round of the NCAA Tournament. The Anteaters have warmed to the task in the NIT and boast enough scoring depth to give the Mean Green trouble.

Big German center Bent Leuchten (15.4 ppg) and Devin Tillis (22 points, 11 rebounds in quarterfinals) lead an offense that makes UC Irvine our bet on March Madness to key a same game parlay. As always, check March Madness news for any late injury updates.

Bet On UC Irvine Moneyline (Ev)

2. Justin Hohn 12+ Points (-130)

Justin Hohn, a 6-foot-2 senior guard, leads UC Irvine in assists (3.7) and dished out five in two of the three NIT games. While he is the setup man for Tillis and Leuchten, Hohn averaged 18.3 points in the first three NIT games before he was held to four in the quarterfinals. Hohn is in his fifth season with the Anteaters and he is one of the March Madness picks for an NCAA parlay.

Bet On Justin Hohn 12+ Points (-130)

3. UC Irvine Over 63½ Points (-115)

The Anteaters average 75.9 points, have four players averaging at least 12 and the Big West freshman of the year Jurian Dixon (8.7). Leuchten and Tillis are supported by Myles Che (12.1 ppg) and Hohn (18.5 ppg, first two of the NIT). No matter how good the North Texas defense is, our March Madness parlay pick is that UC Irvine will at least eclipse the low team total.

4. Largest lead Under 12 ½ Points (+105)

North Texas should keep this close with its defense and has enough offense to take the game down to the wire with Atin Wright (14.9 ppg), Brenen Lorient (11.9) and Jasper Floyd (15.7 NIT).

With the odds at a decent +105 for your parlay, take the under in this March Madness game. UC Irvine won the last two games by a total of nine points and North Texas owns two straight two-point victories.
