AO can't shoot from 15 plus.
Seems to me that's how you'd defend that play. However, if you brought Criswell in, you'd create far more problems, because you can't leave him alone from 12-18.

AO dives to the hole, probably. Or AO sets a screen on Bowers' man, and Bowers dives to the hole. You could also have AO roll down and screen for the wing on that side, who is cutting to the rim.
As for options for Pressey there... he either:
1) Tries to split the double-team (and if he does, it's game over... Missouri is getting a layup or dunk at that point)
2) Swings it to the wing on that side, who then can either hit the rolling Oriakhi, take a shot (if his defender has sagged into the post to defend the rolling Oriakhi), or drive
3) Hits Oriakhi as he is cutting (if the passing lane is there)
