The Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils and the Oregon State Beavers will meet tonight in a non-conference college basketball matchup at Gill Coliseum in Corvallis, Oregon. Let’s take a look at this game from a betting perspective.

Mississippi Valley State vs. Oregon State Prediction

In my view, this matchup favors Mississippi Valley State staying within the number (34.5). Why? Oregon State has been an absolute offensive juggernaut through the opening week of the season, averaging an explosive 97.3 points per game which ranks 13th in the country.

Similarly, Mississippi Valley State enters this contest looking to find the team’s first victory of the 2026 campaign. While the Delta Devils will look to dig in defensively, they face an immense challenge slowing down a high-octane Oregon State Beavers offense that has eclipsed 94 points in three consecutive games to open the year.

While the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils will attempt to slow the down the pace and grind out possessions, the Beavers possess far too much depth and firepower on the team’s home floor. I just think asking the Beavers to cover a 34.5 spread is a rather tall task. With that said, I am backing the Mississippi Valley State Delta Devils plus the 34.5 points in this game.
