A men's college basketball game between Nicholls State Colonels and Lamar Cardinals scheduled for February 23, 2026 at 7:00 PM ET. Markets cover moneyline (winner), multiple point spreads, and over/under totals across Kalshi and Polymarket platforms.
Unified Resolution Criteria (Consistent across platforms)
Both platforms resolve on the same game outcome (Nicholls vs Lamar, Feb 23, 2026), use identical final-score-including-overtime logic, and reference NCAA.com as the authoritative source. Spread and total thresholds are clearly defined and consistent within each market type.
Primary resolution logic:
NCAA.com official final score including overtime
Core resolution logic:
Moneyline: Market resolves to the team with the higher final score (Nicholls Colonels or Lamar Cardinals)
Point Spread (-4.5, -3.5, -2.5, -1.5): Market resolves to Lamar Cardinals if they win by the specified margin or more; otherwise resolves to Nicholls Colonels
Over/Under (146.5, 145.5, 144.5, 143.5): Market resolves to Over if combined score meets or exceeds the threshold; otherwise resolves to Under
Final score determination includes all overtime periods
Game postponement: Markets remain open until game completion
Game cancellation with no makeup: Polymarket resolves 50-50 (Kalshi cancellation logic not explicitly stated but presumed similar)
Edge cases & Clarifications:
Postponement: If the game is postponed, all markets remain open and unresolved until the game is completed on a later date. Resolution then occurs based on the final score of the rescheduled game.
Cancellation: If the game is canceled entirely with no makeup game scheduled, Polymarket markets resolve 50-50. Kalshi's cancellation protocol is not explicitly detailed in provided source material.
Overtime: All markets explicitly include overtime periods in final score determination. A game decided in overtime counts as a single game result, not multiple events.
Spread Push: If the final margin exactly matches a spread threshold (e.g., Lamar wins by exactly 3 on a -3.5 spread), the market resolves to Nicholls Colonels (the non-favored team), as the spread requirement is not met.
Total Push: If combined score exactly matches a total threshold (e.g., 145 on a 145.5 total), the market resolves to Under, as the Over threshold is not met.
Timing:
Resolution occurs immediately after the final score is official on NCAA.com, including any overtime. If postponed, resolution is delayed until the rescheduled game completion. Cancellation resolution (if applicable) occurs within 24 hours of official cancellation announcement.
