Regular Season Round 37: Yamagata - Fukushima 74-57
Date: February 3, 2019
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams when 4th placed Fukushima (17-20) was defeated on the road by fifth ranked Yamagata (16-21) 74-57 on Sunday. Yamagata outrebounded Fukushima 43-31 including 31 on the defensive glass. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. American-Irish swingman Will Hanley (201-90, college: Bowdoin, agency: Duran International) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 22 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field) for the winners and Nigerian forward Chukwudiebere Maduabum (206-91) chipped in 14 points and 14 rebounds. Four Yamagata players scored in double figures. At the losing side American center Chris Brady (208-95, college: Monmouth) responded with 8 points and 8 rebounds and guard Dai Suzuki (183-90) scored 11 points and 4 assists. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Yamagata moved-up to fourth place, which they share with Ehime OV. Loser Fukushima keeps the fourth position with 20 games lost. Yamagata will face league's second-placed Toyotsu FE in Nagoya in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Fukushima will play on the road against the league's leader Kumamoto V. and hope to win that game.
