Regular Season Round 20: Niigata Albirex - Tochigi Brex 62-71

Date: December 29, 2017
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams when 5th ranked Niigata Albirex (10-18) lost at home to sixth ranked Tochigi Brex (13-15) 71-62 on Friday. American power forward Ryan Rossiter (204-89, college: Siena) orchestrated the victory by scoring 16 points and 9 rebounds. The other American import forward Jeffrey Gibbs (188-80, college: Otterbein) contributed with 9 points and 9 rebounds for the winners. American Davante Gardner (203-91, college: Marquette) replied with a double-double by scoring 24 points and 16 rebounds and the former international guard Kei Igarashi (180-80) added 14 points and 4 assists in the effort for Niigata Albirex. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Tochigi Brex have a solid three-game winning streak. Defending champion moved-up to second place, which they share with San-en and Toyama Grouses. Niigata Albirex lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the fifth position with 18 games lost. Tochigi Brex will face Shiga L-Stars (#3) at home in the next round, which may be the game of the day. Niigata Albirex will play against Diamond Dolphins in Nagoya and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
