Who wins this game and why?

This is a really tough game to pick. My gut says Holmes wins easily. However, knowing that Holmes has had closer games against teams that have multiple ball handlers or a very good ball handler, this could become an interesting game. NCC has an elite ball handler and others that can handle it. Holmes seemed to struggle in half court against a good defense. Now, NCC has nowhere near the inside presences as HC had, so the half court may not be an issue in this one. But I don't think Holmes will get the easy buckets they are accustomed to on turnovers. So will they be able to score in the half court or not. I think they will, but you never know. NCC is very scrappy and plays similar to Holmes. They just aren't as deep as Holmes. If Holmes gets out and takes chances like they do, it could allow NCC to stay in the game. If they play solid, disciplined defense, then I think it will be tough on NCC to score. Holmes lives and dies with pressure defense. If a team can handle it, it becomes a risk. Problem is...most teams can't handle it for 32 minutes.

Very easily could be! Just an interesting match up. NCC similar to Boone and beat Boone and Boone was able to stay in the game. Just an interesting matchup. Again, my gut tells me Holmes wins easily.

Holmes also played Boone their second game of the season. This is a completely different ball team than from the beginning of the season. Holmes wins but margin depends on which holmes team shows up!

I understand. Not saying Holmes won't detroy them. I'm saying it's an interesting match up. That's all.

Agreed. Should be interesting to see how Mayes does against her old team.
