Tennessee Vs Iowa State Prop Picks

From MetaZoo Wiki


I'm setting the spread and overall aside, as my preferred Tennessee vs. Iowa State player props and March Madness picks get you set for this Midwest Region war.


Tennessee vs Iowa State props


Prop # 1: Tamin Lipsey Over 2.5 steals


+130 at bet365


The body and soul of Iowa State is wreaking havoc, and no one does it better than Tamin Lipsey.


Lipsey has actually taped eight steals in the very first 2 games of the NCAA Tournament and has 3 or more swipes in 4 of his last six video games going back to Big 12 play. He's a bug in the passing lanes and always a hazard to knock the ball away on double downs.


Tennessee needs to avoid of the theatre - it's got butterfingers. The Volunteers ended up third in the SEC in turnovers (11.7 per game), and 7.1 of those were off opponent takes.


Prop # 2: Milan Momcilovic Over 16.5 points


-112 at bet365


Inside scoring is hard to come by against Tennessee, as the Vols swarm penetrating passes and jam up the works in the paint. That develops area for kickouts to spot-up hazards like Milan Momcilovic.


The Cyclones forward has actually gone 7-for-16 from deep in the tournament, including tearing down 3 or more triples in 7 of his last nine games. With Joshua Jefferson out, the Cyclones will play Momcilovic at power forward, which should worry the Volunteers' defense, as Tennessee prefers to crowd the paint with size.


Momcilovic struck 17 or more points in four of his last 5 trips, and player forecasts sit as high as 18+ points from the "Serbian Sniper."


Prop # 3: J.P Estrella Over 6.5 rebounds


-105 at bet365


J.P. Estrella logged only 20 minutes against Virginia however still left with 5 rebounds in the win. The game prior, he took down 10 boards in a Round of 64 squash of Miami (Ohio).


Tennessee crashes the glass hard as the second-best rebounding group in the SEC. The Volunteers are hounds on the offending boards, with Estrella pulling down more than 3 per video game.


Iowa State is much smaller sized without Jefferson, losing his team-high 7.4 rebounds per contest. The 6-foot-11 Estrella has actually gathered at least 7 rebounds in 7 of his last 12 getaways overall.
