Oklahoma State is off to a 1-0 start in the 2018 National Invitational Tournament after holding off Florida Gulf Coast 80-68. They’ll welcome Stanford to Stillwater on Monday at 6 p.m. (which is just about the worst game day/time combo ever).
So far this year’s NIT has been the least interesting, with zero true upsets in the first round (No. 5 Washington beat No. Boise State, but the game was played at UW). That’s compared to last year which was the wildest of the last decade. In 2016, one 1-seed, three 2-seeds, and all four 3-seeds lost in the first round.
