Oregon State Beavers vs Iona Gaels: Prediction, Head-to-Head, Odds & Stats (Sat, 22 Nov '25)

On Saturday, November 22nd, 2025, the Oregon State Beavers and Iona Gaels will tip off in a much-anticipated showdown in the NCAA Men's tournament. This isn't just a basketball game; it's a comedic battle of wits and hoops, as these two teams vie for supremacy with a history that would make Shakespeare's tale look like a casual office meeting.

Well, well, well, if it isn't the battle of the stat sheets, starring Oregon State Beavers and Iona Gaels! In their previous encounter, held on a momentous Wednesday in November 2015, the Beavers decided to take the stage by storm, scoring 93 points and leaving Iona Gaels with a mere 73, like a comedian who accidentally told the punchline too soon. What makes this face-off even juicier is their perfectly symmetrical record of 1-1, ensuring that neither team can brag to the end of time without feeling a twinge of statistical guilt.

Meanwhile, their statistical feats on the court resemble an art form only Picassos of basketball could paint—strikingly abstract. With elusive free throw and three-pointer percentages, both teams appear to be on a delightful mission to redefine scoring norms. The rebounding and turnover departments also share in this artistic vision of 'zeroes' across the board from their last face-off. I might be tempted to nickname them "The To Zero's" if the trend continues!

In their recent escapades, the Beavers almost managed to gnaw their way to victory against the Evansville Purple Aces, ending up with a 69-73 nail-biter. However, the Iona Gaels, in a dramatic performance, encountered the Akron Zips, bowing out with a 75-96 scoreline that seemed to zip past them faster than a caffeine-fueled squirrel. But despite these recent antics, all eyes are set on the big game, where we boldly predict that the Oregon State Beavers will prance away with victory, possibly making even the scoreboard chuckle! Stay tuned for more escapades from these enchanting teams!
