Holmes great start proves to be the difference in this game. HC actually outscored Holmes 41-40 in the last three quarters while the Bulldogs were "coasting". HC cut it to 8 points twice but both times the Bulldogs answered immediately. Henderson hit 4 of 4 threes, 6 of 9 from the field and 2 of 3 FT's for 18 to lead Holmes. HC was committed to stopping Rice (7), Hill (14) & Jefferson (9), which they basically did but Henderson burned them.

With all the talk about HC slowing it down and being very deliberate on offense, it was actually Holmes who played this way. It was very odd to see the Bulldogs not taking advantage of their superior athletesism by running.

HC- Ryan (15), Sorrell (14) and Giwa (13) By the way, noone made Giwa look "silly" out there tonight, he played a fine game , even a little better than his counterpart at point guard.

Good luck to the Bulldogs from here on out.

To me at least, Holmes just couldn't put HC away tonight, and if HC could have hit for a better percentage......... But a lot of the reason that HC had a ton of turnovers and didn't shoot well tonight, was the "D" that Holmes played.....

 

Friday night should be wild at CovCath......

HC couldn't buy one in the first half...from my view, it had more to do with athletic people defending them; as opposed to just missing good shots. It had blow out written all over it..then the third quarter...I felt Holmes did everything they could to let the Indians back in it and gain a little confidence. They seemed to slow their offense down, didn't press much, etc...I was wondering why, with superior athletes and the big lead, they didn't open it up and blow it away. I do give HC credit for a brilliant effort coming back and making it a game...(got it to 9)...cudos to the Sullivan boy for a great effort in particular, and Ryan stepped up late. The HC point guard Giwa? can play, if he works on his shooting he will be really something.
