Regular Season Round 29: Hitachi SR - Tochigi Brex 61-65
Date: February 12, 2011
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams in Osaka where 5th ranked Hitachi Sunrockers (13-16) were defeated by sixth ranked Tochigi Brex (11-18) 65-61 on Saturday. The guests trailed by 3 points after three quarters before their 27-20 charge, which allowed them to win the game. American center Scott Merritt (208-82, college: Marquette) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 13 points and 17 rebounds for the winners and international guard Takuya Kawamura (193-86) chipped in 18 points and 7 rebounds. The former international center Joji Takeuchi (206-85) responded with a double-double by scoring 13 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists and American power forward Tyler Smith (203-80, college: Penn St.) scored 18 points and 5 rebounds. Both coaches tested many bench players in such tough game. Defending champion maintains sixth place with 11-18 record. Loser Hitachi Sunrockers keep the fifth position with 16 games lost. Tochigi Brex will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Hitachi Sunrockers will play again against Tochigi Brex (#6) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
