Both teams work hard on defense.  Somerset will probably play a zone which will cause DCA to be patient on offense.  Somerset runs a lot of screening action to try to get a man free for a three point shot against DCA's man to man and they're pretty patient on offense too.   I'd say it will be a low scoring game.  

DCA has been playing in spurts lately.  At times they look great and at other times they don't look focused.  I don't think it's jitters, I think they may be fatigued.  It could go either way but I'd say if DCA stays focused and doesn't get in foul trouble they should win by 5-10 points.

Somerset will have to be competitive on the glass, and try to neutralize paint scores.  It's important for them to stay out of foul trouble being limited with some guys out with injuries.  DCA is a tough matchup, but Somerset runs some creative stuff to get shot opportunities that can present some issues.  I agree with previous poster this game will be low scoring.

I've heard that Bruner is out.  Who else is out for Somerset?

Bruner has been out since Feb. 3rd with Shoulder injury.  Coomer hurt his knee in the district semifinals.  FR. Guard Josh Lewis has played well (18 points in Region 1st RD.) but is not the same physically on defensive end of the floor.

Coomer hit a couple of big 3's against DCA in the recent game.

Yes, he was a solid player for the Jumpers but has unfortunately been injury plagued his whole career.  Lewis is a really good shooter, just not as physical being a FR.

Somerset 41 DCA 39

I just can't pick DCA to win all three games over the Jumpers. I think Somerset gets over the hump tonight.
