Regular Season Round 40: Tsukuba R. - Tochigi Brex 68-100
Date: March 22, 2014
An exciting game between Top Four teams was played in Tsukuba. Fourth ranked Tochigi Brex faced one of their biggest challengers Tsukuba R.. Guests from Tochigi (26-18) smashed host Tsukuba R. (7-38) 100-68. It looked good early as Tsukuba R. took an 4-point lead at the end of first quarter. But then Tochigi Brex had a 26-15 second period charge getting the lead and Tsukuba R. was not able to take back game control losing it eventually 68-100. Tochigi Brex shot 65.4 percent from the field. Their players were unselfish on offense dishing 24 assists. The winners were led by American guard Tommy Brenton (196-89, college: Stony Brook) who scored that evening 9 points, 5 rebounds and 11 assists and the former international guard Hiroki Watanabe (180-88) supported him with 19 points. Even 17 points and 7 rebounds by American power forward Justin Reynolds (206-88, college: Texas A&M-CC) did not help to save the game for Tsukuba R.. His fellow American import power forward Lamar Sanders (198-84, college: Lamar) added 10 points and 10 rebounds for lost side. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Tochigi Brex maintains fourth position with 26-18 record which they share with defeated Tsukuba R. Tsukuba R. lost seventh consecutive game. Newly promoted team keeps the fourth place with 38 games lost. Tochigi Brex's next round opponent will be league's leader Toshiba Thunders in Kanagawa and it may be the game of the week. Tsukuba R. will play at home against Mitsubishi Dolphins and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
