This event group covers a women's college basketball game between Holy Cross Crusaders and Lafayette Leopards scheduled for February 18, 2026 at 6:00 PM ET. Markets on both Polymarket and Kalshi are betting on the winner of this matchup.
Kalshi market contains a logical contradiction where both possible game outcomes (Lafayette win and Holy Cross win) are stated to resolve to Yes, making the market unresolvable as a binary event. This is a data integrity failure that prevents proper settlement.
Hero Tip:
Avoid trading the Kalshi market until the contradiction is resolved. Contact Kalshi support to confirm whether the second outcome should resolve to No, or if the market structure is fundamentally different than stated. Polymarket's winner-take-all structure is logically sound and can be traded with confidence.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket: Binary winner-take-all structure. Holy Cross win resolves to Holy Cross Crusaders, Lafayette win resolves to Lafayette Leopards. Includes edge case handling: postponement keeps market open until completion, cancellation without makeup resolves 50-50. Resolution based on final score including overtime.
Kalshi: Stated as binary but contains logical contradiction. Both outcomes explicitly resolve to Yes: 'If Lafayette wins...resolves to Yes' AND 'If Holy Cross wins...resolves to Yes.' This violates fundamental binary market logic and makes settlement impossible.
