Regular Season Round 32: Yamanashi QB - Hitachi Cougars 70-73
Date: March 16, 2014
Rather expected game when 12th ranked Yamanashi QB (2-29) was edged at home by tenth ranked Hitachi Cougars (7-24) 73-70 on Sunday. The guests took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But Yamanashi QB won fourth quarter 23-18. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. Hitachi Cougars shot 61.4 percent from the field and made 19-of-24 free shots (79.2 percent) during the game. Hitachi Cougars had a 44-31 advantage in offensive rebounds. They shot the lights out from three sinking 21 long-distance shots on high 75.0 percentage. Hitachi Cougars looked well-organized offensively handing out 22 assists. Great defensive blocking was one of the keys in this match when Hitachi Cougars made 203 blocks. Yamanashi QB was plagued by 46 personal fouls down the stretch. Worth to mention a great performance of Aiko Ishihara (178-92) who helped to win the game recording 22 points and forward Hikaru Ogasawara (174-88) who added 15 points and 7 rebounds during the contest. Power forward Mika Okada (174-87) responded with a double-double by scoring 13 points, 16 rebounds and 4 assists and guard Kasumi Yagi (165-92) scored 22 points. Hitachi Cougars maintains tenth position with 7-24 record. Yamanashi QB lost fourth consecutive game. They stay dead last with 29 lost games. Hitachi Cougars will face higher ranked Niigata (#8) in Tokyo in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Yamanashi QB will play at home against Mitsubishi K. (#6) and hope to win that game.
