Regular Season Round 48: Iwate Big Bulls - Yokohama BC 82-73
Date: March 23, 2014
Everything went according to plan when third ranked Iwate Big Bulls (30-12) beat at home 8th ranked Yokohama BC (18-24) 82-73 on Sunday. The hosts were tied at the half but managed to speed up in last two quarters eventually winning the game. Iwate Big Bulls made 24-of-29 free shots (82.8 percent) during the game. Yokohama BC was plagued by 24 personal fouls down the stretch. Americans were the main players on the court also this time. Worth to mention a great performance of forward Josh Peppers (201-85, college: Cent.Florida, agency: Court Side) who helped to win the game recording 29 points and 6 steals and forward Lawrence Blackledge (206-86, college: Marquette) who added 15 points and 8 rebounds during the contest. Blackledge is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top international summer league in the market. Iwate Big Bulls' coach Dai Oketani used an eleven-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. The best for the losing side was swingman Omar Reed (200-87, college: Bluefield, agency: Norton Sports Management) with a double-double by scoring 14 points and 10 rebounds and center Wayne Marshall (211-86, college: Temple) scored 17 points and 5 rebounds. Iwate Big Bulls maintains third position with 30-12 record having seven points less than leader Okinawa GK. Yokohama BC lost third consecutive game. They dropped to the seventh place with 24 games lost. Iwate Big Bulls will face Hamamatsu Phoenix (#3) in Mikawa in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Yokohama BC will play at home against Niigata Albirex (#5) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
