Lipscomb vs Iowa State Prediction

Iowa State is a behemoth heading into the March Madness tournament. Were it not for injuries, the Cyclones would be poised for a deep tournament run. However, even without the skills of scoring guard Keshon Gilbert, the Cyclones are a dangerous squad. Iowa State sit 10th in KenPom’s rankings with the 21st ranked offense and ninth ranked defense. They force turnovers at a high rate (21.8%), and convert on over 35% of three-point shots.

Expect to see Iowa State lean on their stellar defense to come away with the victory. Lipscomb plays at a snail’s pace, plus make the most of every trip down the floor with an stellar turnover percentage of just 14.4 and by shooting 55.9% from the field, good for 23rd in the nation. While their overmatched here, the Bisons can cause the Cyclones real problems on both ends of the floor. Lipscomb has the talent to keep this round of 64 matchup close.
