Regular Season Round 1: Niigata Albirex - Iwate Big Bulls 82-88
Date: October 6, 2012
No shocking result in a game when leader Iwate Big Bulls (2-0) beat on the road bottom-ranked Niigata Albirex (0-2) 88-82 on Saturday. The guests were tied at the half but managed to speed up in last two quarters eventually winning the game. Iwate Big Bulls shot 32 for 49 from the free-throw line, while Niigata Albirex only scored fifteen points from the stripe. Niigata Albirex was plagued by 29 personal fouls down the stretch. American players dominated the game. It was a very good performance for center Dillion Sneed (203-84, college: E.Tenn.St., agency: Top Notch Sports) who helped to win the game recording a double-double by scoring 21 points and 11 rebounds. Forward Lawrence Blackledge (206-86, college: Marquette, agency: Top Notch Sports) contributed with 12 points, 9 rebounds and 6 blocks for the winners. Blackledge is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas. Iwate Big Bulls' coach Dai Oketani used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Forward Rodney Webb (200-83, college: Florida Atlantic) answered with a double-double by scoring 21 points and 11 rebounds and guard Nile Murry (193-83, college: TCU) added 17 points and 8 rebounds in the effort for Niigata Albirex. Five Iwate Big Bulls and four Niigata Albirex players scored in double figures. Iwate Big Bulls maintains first place with 2-0 record, which they share with Toyama Grouses and Okinawa GK. Niigata Albirex at the other side still closes the standings with two games lost. Iwate Big Bulls will face Sendai 89ers (#3) on the road in the next round, which may be the game of the day.
