Game Previews: Friday, December 18

Carmel (4-0) at North Central (3-1)

North Central can't wait to play with urgency until the second half like they did in games previous games.  The problem for North Central is the more teams extend pressure on Carmel, the more space Carmel has to operate.  Carmel can play fast, and will.  North Central will have to turn them over. 

This will be a game of extra possessions--turnovers and the offensive glass.
