This event group covers a women's college basketball game between Ohio State Buckeyes and Minnesota Golden Gophers scheduled for February 18, 2026 at 8:00 PM ET. Markets resolve based on which team wins the game, with provisions for postponement and cancellation scenarios.
Kalshi's resolution statement is logically contradictory - it specifies that the market resolves to Yes for both possible game outcomes (Ohio St. win and Minnesota win), which is impossible for a binary Yes/No market structure. This creates a data integrity failure that makes the market fundamentally unresolvable as written.
Hero Tip:
Do not trade the Kalshi market until the contradiction is resolved. Contact Kalshi support to clarify: does the market resolve Yes only if Ohio St. wins (and No if Minnesota wins), or is there alternative resolution logic? Polymarket's market is clear and safe to trade - it resolves to the winning team's name with well-defined edge cases.
Critical Divergence Points:
Polymarket:
Resolves to the name of the winning team (Ohio State Buckeyes or Minnesota Golden Gophers) based on final score including overtime. If game is postponed, market stays open. If canceled with no makeup, resolves 50-50. Key quote: 'If the Ohio State Buckeyes win, the market will resolve to Ohio State Buckeyes. If the Minnesota Golden Gophers win, the market will resolve to Minnesota Golden Gophers.'
Kalshi:
Contains contradictory logic stating market resolves to Yes for both outcomes. Key quote: 'If Ohio St. wins...then the market resolves to Yes. If Minnesota wins...then the market resolves to Yes.' This is logically impossible for a binary market.
