Florida Gulf Coast vs Lipscomb Pick
Florida Gulf Coast vs Lipscomb Pick
- Lipscomb -4
Lipscomb has been the more consistent team throughout the season and their offensive efficiency gives them an advantage in this matchup. The Bison move the ball well and have multiple scoring options, which can be difficult for defenses to handle in tournament play. Florida Gulf Coast has shown flashes of strong play, but Lipscomb’s ability to control the tempo and create quality shots should give them the edge.

Both teams average close to 80 points per game and have offenses capable of putting together scoring runs. Florida Gulf Coast likes to push the tempo when they force turnovers, while Lipscomb’s efficient offense creates plenty of scoring opportunities. Because of that, I expect a game where both teams can find success offensively.
