Cooper won't double Bolden...Holmes got easy baskets when Newcath tried to do this and I'm sure Sully took notice. Cooper will do what they've done all year. Play tough man to man defense and grind it out on offense. Worked all season. Sully isn't going to stray away from it now.

 

Bottom line, whoever makes shots wins.

 

I do like Holmes' chances a little better though with them being able to spread Cooper out and implementing a similar game plan as we seen in the Newcath game.

 

It was in the 4th quarter and Holmes had the lead but when I saw NCC double Bolden, he pretty much gave the ball up. Different circumstances would surely cause a different approach, but I didn't see Holmes getting layups when they doubled. Perhaps my memory fails me.

Sorry but this game won't even be close. I know I am a Holmes Alumni, but I have attended many other games as a sports fan. The rims are real tight at the BOKC, the boys are not used to shooting in an arena so there depth perception is not the same. Holmes will hit many more layups and mid range shots. I predict a 71-54 blowout. GET SOME !!!

Going with Cooper 53-50

Holmes 68

Cooper 59
