Milan Momcilovic coming off best game for Iowa State in Maui Invitational

Former Pewaukee High School standout Milan Momcilovic has drawn attention from NBA scouts with his size and shooting ability for Iowa State.

The 6-foot-8 forward will be a key defensive matchup for MU. Momcilovic is coming off his best game for the Cyclones, when he knocked down 6 three-pointers and scored 24 points as Iowa State beat Colorado on Nov. 27 in the Cyclones’ third and final game of the Maui Invitational.

Marquette’s probable starters

Forwards: Ben Gold, David Joplin

Iowa State’s probable starters

Guards: Keshon Gilbert, Tamin Lipsey

Forwards: Milan Momcilovich, Joshua Jefferson, Dishon Jackson

Iowa State-Marquette prediction

If you like harassing, swarming defenses, then this is the game for you with both teams among the nation’s best in creating turnovers. The Cyclones will be aggressive in getting the ball out of Kam Jones’ hands, so Ben Gold and David Joplin need to be ready to shoot when open. Iowa State’s “Hilton Magic” at its home venue should give the Cyclones an edge in this awesome Big East-Big 12 matchup.

Prediction: Iowa State 75, Marquette 71
