I'm setting the spread and total aside, as my preferred Tennessee vs. Iowa State gamer props and March Madness chooses get you set for this Midwest Region war.
Tennessee vs Iowa State props
Prop # 1: Tamin Lipsey Over 2.5 takes
+130 at bet365
The heart and soul of Iowa State is creating chaos, and no one does it much better than Tamin Lipsey.
Lipsey has recorded 8 takes in the first 2 video games of the NCAA Tournament and has 3 or more swipes in four of his last six video games dating back to Big 12 play. He's a bug in the passing lanes and constantly a risk to knock the ball away on double downs.
Tennessee requires to avoid of the theatre - it's got butterfingers. The Volunteers ended up third in the SEC in turnovers (11.7 per video game), and 7.1 of those were off opponent steals.
Prop # 2: Milan Momcilovic Over 16.5 points
-112 at bet365
Inside scoring is hard to come by versus Tennessee, as the Vols swarm penetrating passes and jam up the operate in the paint. That produces area for kickouts to spot-up risks like Milan Momcilovic.
The Cyclones forward has gone 7-for-16 from deep in the competition, including knocking down three or more triples in 7 of his last 9 games. With Joshua Jefferson out, the Cyclones will play Momcilovic at power forward, which need to stress the Volunteers' defense, as Tennessee chooses to crowd the paint with size.
Momcilovic struck 17 or more points in four of his last 5 getaways, 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 versus Virginia however still won 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 team in the SEC. The Volunteers are hounds on the offending boards, with Estrella taking down more than 3 offensive rebounds per game.
Iowa State is much smaller without Jefferson, losing his team-high 7.4 rebounds per contest. The 6-foot-11 Estrella has collected a minimum of 7 rebounds in seven of his last 12 trips in general.
