Howard County: March 15 Basketball Predictions
The Kokomo Bobkats have started the season in dominant fashion, rolling to a blowout win in their opener before gutting out an overtime thriller in game two. Those victories have given fans an early glimpse of the team’s potential, but the next challenge won’t come easy.
A packed house in this weekend’s intimate venue could make all the difference.
Let’s break down the matchup and predict the winner.
Lebanon Leprechauns 1-1 vs Kokomo Bobkats 2-0
The Bobkats’ latest victory is one fans won’t forget anytime soon. From Plummer’s clutch shot to force overtime to the team’s relentless energy in the extra period, Kokomo continues to find ways to win. That mindset will be crucial as they prepare for this weekend’s Battle of the Belt against the Lebanon Leprechauns.
The Upper Midwest Division of The Basketball League is stacked with talent, and Lebanon’s first two games are proof of that. But one of the biggest challenges the Leprechauns will face is keeping up with the Bobkats’ fast-paced style of play. Head coach Chandler Levingston Simon pushes his team to run the floor at every opportunity. On top of that, the Bobkats have yet to unveil a few strategic wrinkles, adding another layer of intrigue to a matchup where they are expected to come out on top.
