All NCAA tourney games are scary. This one is going to be tough!
Lipscomb

We should be able to physically impose our will on these guys. They play three bigs, none of which weight more than 220. Ognacevic is a good player and him vs. Jefferson will be a fun matchup. I'd be putting the ball in Jefferson's hands early and often. He's should be able to back him down and bully him in the post or force foul trouble.
Their other two bigs are Grant Asman and Charlie Williams and they go 6'11" 210# and 6'10" 220# respectively. Analytically they are both not good rebounders. Chat/Jackson are going to have 40-50 pounds on those guys. We ought to dominate down low and those guys should get a ton of offensive rebounds. On top of that, all their other rotation players are guards that go 6' to 6'3". So we'll have size advantage with Heise/Milan/Jones/Watson on the perimeter as well.
I especially like that for Milan if he's going to guarded by a smaller defender where it's easier for him to get to his spot and get his shot off. A lot like last year first round against SDSU where Milan was awesome and unguardable for those smaller guards.
That said, ALL TOURNAMENT GAMES ARE SCARY! All it takes is a hot game from three for Lipscomb and an upset can happen. On paper, I feel good that we can physcially dominate and crush them on the offensive boards even if we're not making shots.

Exactly. This is TEMU BYU.
You order a BYU player and you just get a 4X6 picture of one.
Feels a lot like South Dakota State did a year ago to me. I'm eager with nervous anticipation. I predict a somewhat back and forth 5-8 minutes, then Iowa State gets a kill and stretches the lead to 8 or 9. Then in the second half they stretch it to 12-15 and that's where it kind of stays at and yo-yos the rest of the way. 84-70 Cyclones win. Big day for the presidents, and Tamin makes life hell for the Lipscomb guards.
Mill-e-walk-ayLooks like they're lead by a Wisconsin kid, Jacob Ognacevic. 6'8, averaged 20 PPG and 8 RPG. 40% 3 point shooter.
Glad we're in Milwaukee
Just checked, and Milan is 10 pounds heavier than the heaviest guy on their roster.
I’m feeling a big day in the paint, you can’t stop Big Dog with a 215-pounder.
I was so pumped when he hit one against BYU
...says literally every fan of every team in every tournament
WOW! Their heaviest guy is 220lb and they only have six guys over 200lbs. 6'10" 220 against Big Dog Jackson. He is going to get bumped and backed down all game long.
Into the paint we go
Trying to find more ticket information. Not sure where to go, so starting here. Seeing insane resale prices, any one have any ideas on best places to go for Friday tickets?
Hi-ho Hi-ho,
It's in the paint we go,
Back them down,
Turn'em around,
Hi-ho Hi-ho.

$130 (fees included) get in the door price. That's very reasonable for ncaa tournament.
