*** Official Lipscomb vs #15 IOWA STATE Game(Day) Thread ***
- Thread starter CycloneRulzzz
- Start date
This'd be a great time for Milan's third career 20+ pt. game.
There’s a train from Chicago to Milwaukee and it must be 80% people dressed in Cyclones gear.
See y’all there

Take nothing for granted. Take Lipscomb seriously. Take care of business and get to Sunday.
Name of the game now. It doesn't matter if you win by 1 or by 30, IIRC, UConn went to OT in their first game in 2014 (?) and then ran the table
Just win today.
I don't think protecting starters is in TJ's DNA. Lipsey might not play 30 minutes (or at all), but I doubt anything else changes in regards to the rotation.
The last time I was this nervous about a first round game was playing Nevada in 2017. We won that game, so I’m probably bad at judging these things
Only if they both lose then this board will be on suicide watch.
Going out to watch both. If that happens this will be an epic blackout.
Couple of observations about Lipscomb:
Really only play 7 guys - 4 guards and 3 bigs. 8th guy is a big guard (6'6") who has played every game, but averages 2ppg in 8 minutes a game.
The key group - the guards Pruitt(#2) and Anderson(#22) plus leading scorer Ognacevic (#41) basically don't come out of the game. They also basically never foul - all 3 of those average less than 2 fouls per 40 minutes.
Can they withstand our physical play, hold up for 40 minutes and not commit fouls? That's the real question of the game to me.
They don't force many turnovers, but don't commit many either (especially unforced)
They don't get many offensive rebounds, but they are good on the defensive glass
They don't get to the FT line much, but are top 10 in keeping opponents off the line

Lol BYU is very athletic. I think a lot of fans/pundits assume because they have a lot of white guys that they're just highly skilled. But Saunders, Stewart, Mag, and Keita have high-level athleticism. And then Demin is a 6'9" PG who can handle and pass. Lipscomb ain't BYU.
Share the ball, get it in the paint, and make them uncomfortable in their offense. We got this one.
