The National Invitational Tournament (NIT) certainly isn’t the most popular college basketball postseason event, but bettors won’t necessarily ignore it either.
Think about it — hoards of recreational bettors loaded up their sportsbook accounts ahead of March Madness, but with the NCAA Tournament on hold until Saturday’s Sweet 16 games, there’s still a desire to put those stagnant bankrolls to use.
Enter this week’s smaller postseason tournament games.
Tonight’s NIT matchups may not be prime candidates to lead SportsCenter, but according to our college basketball public betting data, handles will be surprisingly large for Thursday’s games, and yes, sharps are getting involved as well.
With this in mind, let’s examine the game that is trending to offer tonight’s favorite wager among wiseguys: NC State vs. Colorado State.

Big Money
