Iowa State Form
Iowa State head into this matchup on an underwhelming run of form, having gone 3-4 in their previous seven games.
The Cyclones enjoyed a four-game win streak in February, but they ended that month with back-to-back losses and their form has tailed off since then.
They were beaten 68-59 at Houston and 74-68 at Oklahoma State, and then failed to build on an 84-67 win over Arizona as they lost 88-85 to BYU in double overtime.
Iowa State wrapped up the regular season with a 73-57 win at Kansas State, and then backed that up in the Big 12 tournament as they downed Cincinnati 76-56.
The Cyclones’ bid for conference glory was ended by BYU though, as they fell to a 96-92 defeat against the Cougars.
Lipscomb Form
Lipscomb enter the national tournament on a good run of form, having won 11 of their last 12 games and each of the last six.
The Bisons saw a five-game win streak end with a 66-57 defeat at Eastern Kentucky, but they bounced back quickly to win their final three regular season games.
They sandwiched a 95-78 success at Austin Peay with home wins over North Alabama, 75-63, and Central Arkansas, 78-69.
Lipscomb kept that run going as they advanced to the Atlantic Sun final with wins over Central Arkansas, 84-66, and Queens NC, 81-75 in overtime.
The Bisons then secured the conference crown with a 76-65 victory over North Alabama.
Verdict
Iowa State have the ability to dictate how this game plays out, playing good defense and forcing turnovers.
Therefore we expect the Cyclones to make routine progress in this first-round matchup.
