Iowa State vs Lipscomb Analysis
Iowa State is a hell of a team, but the fact that Keshon Gilbert will be out moving forward is enough to at least consider the ‘dog in the first-round tilt. It also helps Lipscomb is arguably one of the best 14-seeds of all time as a top-85 team in KenPom that can shoot the crap out of the ball.
The Bisons did fail both of their power-conference tests in the non-con, but losing at Kentucky and at Arkansas is nothing to sneeze at. ISU isn’t quite as overwhelmingly athletic as those two squads, good news for the athletically-challenged Bisons.
Lipscomb can shoot, and that’s basically the only way you can score consistently against the Clones.
Lennie Acuff’s offense is a symphony of gorgeous motion filled with cutting and screening. He has four or five guys on the floor that can shoot the 3 at all times. Iowa State packs it in, and their on-ball havoc won’t bother the steady-handed Lipscomb guards who lead the Bisons’ No. 22-ranked turnover rate.
Lipscomb can hang around in this game — especially with Gilbert out.
The Pick: Lipscomb +14.5
