Oklahoma State has accepted a bid to the National Invitation Tournament and will host Davidson Tuesday at 7 p.m. CT in Gallagher-Iba Arena.
With a win, OSU – a No. 2 seed in its eight-team regional pod – would be in line to host either No. 3 seed Wichita State or Wyoming in the second round (Saturday or Sunday), with quarterfinal action scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.
No. 1 seed Tulsa, Stephen F. Austin, No. 4 seed UC Irvine and UNLV make up the other half of the Tulsa Region, the winner of which will advance to Indianapolis for the semifinals on April 2. The oldest postseason tournament in college basketball will conclude with the 88th NIT championship game on Sunday, April 5.
This is Oklahoma State's 44th postseason tournament bid and its 15th NIT. The Cowboys were part of the inaugural six-team field in 1938, placing third, and have reached the quarterfinals in each of their last three appearances (2018, 2023 and 2025).
OSU is 8-4 all-time in NIT home games, including 6-1 in the first round.
