“Brackets on the Line: Can Underdogs Auburn and Houston Shock the World in a Battle for NCAA Glory?”
Auburn does a good job getting Broome the ball with room to operate. Room for Broome isnât the same as âspaceâ for other players; he doesnât get the ball without a defender on him often because he demands too much attention. It means getting him the ball in situations where itâs hard for other defenders to help on him. Auburn will take its chances with Broome in a one-on-one matchup without help any day of the week.
The normal help rules donât apply to the 6-foot-10 Broome on the post, as Michigan State found out. If a defense doesnât commit to the help shortly after he gets the ball, it might as well not help at all because Broome is the best player in the nation at maneuvering away from where other teams send help.
