North Texas vs Oklahoma State Betting Preview

With the NCAA Tournament looking to expand and the emergence of the new College Basketball Crown tournament in Vegas, who knows how much longer the NIT will be able to exist in its current format.

But for right here and right now, Oklahoma State is the prototypical program that this event will help. The Cowboys went from 12 wins under Mike Boynton last year to a 17-17 season under first-year head coach Steve Lutz.

Last year, Oklahoma State finished with three wins against teams ranked inside KenPom’s top-100. The Cowboys already have eight this year.

The NIT is the perfect event for a motivated team under a rising head coach that still has something left in the tank at the end of the season. With that being said, Oklahoma State caught some big breaks in the first two rounds of this event.

Once the Cowboys’ season ended at the Big XII Tournament, Coach Lutz said that he would accept any postseason invitation and kept practicing with his team. Wichita State was caught off-guard by its NIT invite, and the Shockers already put a bow on their season.

Wichita’s coaching staff had already held its exit interviews, the players were on spring break and the Shockers did not hold a single practice prior to the opening round. Needless to say, Oklahoma State handled that challenge with relative ease.

In the second round, SMU was missing second team All-ACC point guard Boopie Miller. The Cowboys will not be given any freebies tonight in Stillwater against North Texas.

North Texas vs Oklahoma State Predictions

The Mean Green play at the second-slowest pace in the country, and Ross Hodge has built this team to slow down fast-paced squads like Oklahoma State.

The Mean Green had a fantastic warm-up game against Arkansas State on Sunday as North Texas earned the narrow 65-63 win.

The RedWolves play at a very brisk pace and led the Sun Belt in offensive efficiency this season. North Texas’ defense held the RedWolves to a very slow 61-possession game as Arkansas State shot 36.9-percent from the floor.

Oklahoma State’s senior forward Marchelus Avery has not played in the first two NIT games. The Cowboys have done a great job protecting home court at Gallagher Iba Arena this season, but North Texas is built to slow down the Cowboys.

North Texas vs Oklahoma State Prediction: North Texas +1.5
