I'm setting the spread and total aside, as my favorite Tennessee vs. Iowa State player props and March Madness selects 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 nobody does it much better than Tamin Lipsey.
Lipsey has actually recorded eight steals in the first two video games of the NCAA Tournament and has 3 or more swipes in four of his last 6 going back to Big 12 play. He's an insect in the passing lanes and always a danger to knock the ball away on double downs.
Tennessee requires to avoid of the theatre - it's got butterfingers. The Volunteers completed third in the SEC in turnovers (11.7 per game), and 7.1 of those were off challenger steals.
Prop # 2: Milan Momcilovic Over 16.5 points
-112 at bet365
Inside scoring is difficult to come by against Tennessee, as the Vols swarm penetrating passes and jam up the works in the paint. That develops space for kickouts to spot-up risks like Milan Momcilovic.
The Cyclones forward has gone 7-for-16 from deep in the competition, consisting of tearing 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 ought 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 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 but still strolled away with five rebounds in the win. The video game prior, he pulled 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 offensive boards, with Estrella pulling down more than three offending rebounds per video 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 seven rebounds in seven of his last 12 getaways in general.
