Newport Central Catholic/Holmes (9th Region Quarterfinals) predictions

[StXBomber88]

Why would NC bigs come out to guard?

 

They would have to defend the high pick and roll in my scenario. I'm not sure wether Holmes has the right personnel to do what I am suggesting, but on the top of the key high screen one of the bigs has to defend high. This leaves one big to defend low. Assuming Bolden penetrates he either finishes or dishes to the corner that the help came from. I would put my second big above the free throw line. If NCC does not guard him and sags for help defense I drop him to the short corner. The key to this is what type of shot Holmes big have. If they can knock down the 15 foot jumper it might work.
