Regular Season Round 33: Kataja - Korihait 102-85

Date: March 20, 2019
Not a big story in a game when 10th ranked UU-Korihait (9-25) was defeated on the road by fifth ranked Joensuun Kataja (17-13) 102-85 on Wednesday. The game without a history. Joensuun Kataja led from the first minutes and controlled entire game increasing their lead in each quarter. Joensuun Kataja made 25-of-32 free shots (78.1 percent) during the game. Joensuun Kataja looked well-organized offensively handing out 27 assists. UU-Korihait was plagued by 28 personal fouls down the stretch. Cuban-American power forward Adrian Diaz (209-93, college: FIU) stepped up and scored 26 points and 6 rebounds (on 10-of-12 shooting from the field) for the winners and international Topias Palmi (194-94, agency: Blacktop Management) chipped in 24 points and 8 rebounds. Diaz is a former Eurobasket Summer League player, which is considered top summer league for players who want to play basketball overseas. Joensuun Kataja's coach Juha Sten used a ten-player rotation and allowed the starting five to rest. The best for the losing side was American forward Bryan Coleman (198-92, college: Wayne St., MI) with 24 points and 9 rebounds and the other American import guard Mario Edwards (191-88, college: Co.Carolina) scored 4 points, 5 rebounds and 14 assists. Joensuun Kataja maintains fifth place with 17-13 record. UU-Korihait lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the tenth position with 25 games lost. Joensuun Kataja will face Kouvot (#6) in Kouvola in the next round. UU-Korihait will play at home against the league's leader Vilpas (#1) and hope to win that game.
