Eastern Washington will try to take down No. 1 seed Oklahoma State in the second round of the NIT on Sunday. The Eagles advanced to the second round with an 81-74 win at Washington State on Tuesday. Oklahoma State beat Youngstown State in the opening round on Wednesday.
Eastern Washington got off to a slow start this season, losing five of its first seven games. The Eagles turned things around during conference play, rattling off one of the longest winning streaks in the country when they won 18 consecutive games from the middle of December to the end of February. They won their first 16 games against Big Sky opponents before losing their final two games of the regular season. Their lack of momentum continued in the conference tournament when they lost ninth-seeded Northern Arizona as 7.5-point favorites in the quarterfinals. They bounced back with an 81-74 win at Washington State in the first round of the NIT on Tuesday.

Steele Venters scored 27 points and hit a go-ahead 3-pointer with 16 seconds remaining to lead his team to the win over the Cougars as 8.5-point underdogs. Venters was the Big Sky Player of the Year, averaging 15.7 points and 2.8 rebounds per game. He is joined in double figures by Angelo Allegri (13.3) and Tyreese Davis (10.1). Eastern Washington has been red-hot from the floor, ranked third nationally in effective field goal percentage (56.5). It is facing an Oklahoma State defense that is No. 12 in adjusted efficiency. Eastern Washington is the eighth-tallest team in college basketball, which it has used to shoot nearly 60% from 2-point range.
