00:00314 split in the south region Iowa State taking on the champions from the a son

00:06That would be Lipscomb Lenny a cuff

00:08It is sixth year there in Nashville leading the Bisons to the big dance for the first time first time for Lipscomb in total

00:15since

00:172018 this Lipscomb team pretty efficient offensively pretty sound on the defensive end of the four

00:23They love to take the three Iowa State will allow you to shoot from beyond the arc

00:2914 and a half point spread in favor of the Cyclones

00:33Of course injuries a story team and let's see the point guard and the Ames native

00:38Expected to give it a go

00:40Keyshawn Gilbert also was backcourt mate ruled out more than likely for the entirety of the big dance Donnie

00:46How do you break down this game?

00:48It's pretty good matchup here for Lipscomb

00:50And I'm not calling for the upset of Iowa State moving on and winning a couple games here and getting themselves probably into the

00:55Lead either at least the sweet 16 at this point, but 15 points. Let's call it in this game

00:59Look, I will state very good on defense

01:02But I will state also like what's the mo for them if you have one player one of your stars?

01:06That's gonna sit out already another one. That's banged up

01:08Do you really want to max him out this entire way and sort of took it like a Cooper flag type of situation?

01:13Let you see what you have, but don't get injured. I think we should beat this team

01:16Anyway, that could be a recipe for success as a cover for Lipscomb. And once again, Iowa State's calling card is defense

01:22They love to take the basketball away, but Lipscomb doesn't just turn it over

01:26They're not gonna struggle which means if you are a pressure defense, you can break the press

01:30You can have success on offense which leads to what Ben open three-point shots, which is exactly what Lipscomb wants

01:3827th in the country

01:4047% of their total shots from three-point range and making a lot of those at around 37% as a team

01:46I would say it's gonna overwhelm Lipscomb

01:48But once again, you see what I'm talking about here that footprint of if I have an underdog that likes a three-point shot

01:54I'm not even talking about Ben

01:55Dagger in 40% from three-point range all game long just if you're comfortable shooting volume three-point shots if they go down

02:03There's nothing the other team can do with that because if you're trading threes for two

02:07Advantage you so I like Lipscomb with the points in this I don't like Lipscomb the win, but they can hang around
