Great post and excellent analysis. Holmes is too athletic on the defensive end to allow teams to even make it a half-court game. They are content with that and do not clamp down with a Press that can, and I say can only if they commit to it, can keep a team from even getting the ball up court.

In no way should Holmes have allowed the Breds to get the run they had yesterday. I'm a Holmes liker, not a hater. But this team has lived on the edge for much of this season. To often teams are allowed to make a game of it with Holmes relying on their mental confidence that they can come back. Well that is going to bite them if they are not careful.

Do you think this Holmes team has become content with what they have accomplished in the past and not be as focused this season. What a lot of people call "senioritis".
