Sweet Sixteen 1st rd game.

 

Thoughts?

If Holmes plays the way they have been lately I am going with Christian County..Holmes doesn't look very good right now.

What style does Christian Co play?

Scored 95 last night. Looks like they've had quite a few games scoring in the 80's and 90's.

They won't get 95 against Holmes.....Holmes wins this game by 10+

Holmes I would like to see get out and run more.

 

Holmes 74

Christian Co 65

I bet they score then 29.:clap:

Holmes by 10

I thought you win games by scoring more than your opponent? Not the amount you score? Holmes by 11

Same song, different day. Haven't nky folks been saying this the past month??

 

Holmes defense will be the difference in this one. They've given up an average of just 33 ppg the last 6 games. Looking at the Christian Co scores, it doesn't look like they play much defense which will hurt them against Holmes. The more offensive possessions you give them the worse it's going to get. I see Holmes getting the W.

Holmes needs to give the ball to Ricardo and let him take over. When Holmes tries to run an offensive set it is awful...IMO they were playing alot better earlier in the year..

Match ups:

 

6'0 Riley v 6'1 Lewis

6'2 D. Johnson v 6'1 Wilford

6'4 J. Johnson v 6'3 Murden

6'5 R. Johnson v 6'4 Wilson

6'7 Pittman v 6'4 Kates

Thanks for the polls in these threads.

I disagree. They are playing much better defensively right now than earlier in the year. If you haven't noticed, the more points Holmes scores the worse their defense is. Also, Holmes offense is actually best when they're running sets and moving around offensively. I expect Holmes' offense to pick up a little at the state tourney. Teams aren't going to play as good of defense down there as teams in the 9th do...especially Holmes' first round opponent, Christian Co.
