Date: February 14, 2015
Very expected game when 8th ranked Gunma (11-20) was rolled over on the road by third ranked Toyama Grouses (24-9) 80-61 on Saturday. The game was mostly controlled by Toyama Grouses. Gunma managed to win second period 20-19. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They dominated on the defensive end, holding Gunma to just 7 points in first quarter. Toyama Grouses dominated down low during the game scoring 66 of its points in the paint compared to Gunma's 28. They outrebounded Gunma 50-30 including a 40-25 advantage in defensive rebounds. The game was dominated by American players. It was a great evening for forward Sam Willard (205-88, college: Pacific) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 10 points and 16 rebounds. Center Joe Werner (201-84, college: Wisc.-La Crosse) helped adding 12 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists. Four Toyama Grouses players scored in double figures. Forward Melvin Ely (208-78, college: Fresno St.) responded with 11 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks and forward Carlos Dixon (201-81, college: Virginia Tech) scored 15 points and 4 steals. Gunma's coach Charlie Parker rotated eleven players seeing no chance for a win. Toyama Grouses maintains third place with 24-9 record having four points less than leader Akita NH. Loser Gunma keeps the eighth position with 20 games lost. Toyama Grouses will again meet at home Gunma (#8) in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Gunma will have a break next round.
