We defeated Saudi Arabia 134-104 to improve to 3-0 in group play. Sakuma(31), Takaoka(27), and Kuramoto(21) all scored over 20. Nozawa had yet another double-double with 16 points and 18 rebounds. The 18 y/o Inaba also scored his first U21 point late in the game!

We next play group powerhouse Australia. They can probably chalk this one up as a win so we will be more worried about point differential. At 3 wins we have essentially guaranteed ourselves advancing to the second round so going forward it will be about conserving enthusiasm and figuring out placement from our group during our final 2 games against Hanguk and Malaysia.

As always, keep up the great work training and managing minutes for Game Shape!

A reminder to watch your weekly minutes. Everyone has been pretty good about it and our GS has been great because of it, but we had a couple go over 80 during this past week.

We took our first loss of the season today 91-65 to the host team Australia. We knew they were the favorites in our group so a 26 point loss was to be expected, although we were only down 7 going into the 4th quarter. Junichi Sakuma led us in scoring with 23 points.

We are now 3-1 and in 3rd in our group by PD with Malaysia. We still have Hanguk(1-3) and Malaysia(3-1) on the schedule. We should be on to the next round already but a win over Hanguk would clinch it.

Our Rank has improved to 61 and we are not at 129.3 Rank points. Both are season increases at 7 and 18.4.

Second Round Clinched!

I had a feeling Hanguk would CT us but I went with a TIE anyway and we came out with a 22 point victory. Komagata paced us with 29 points while Sakuma poured in 23 of his own. We are now 4-1 in the group, guaranteed a 2 or 3 seed finish, and will face 3-2 Malaysia to finish the group.

Our Second Round opponents are:
Loser of Hong Kong vs Taiwan
Prathet Thai(If W or PD) or Winner of UAE vs India(If Thai Loss and PD)
Winner of China vs Philippines
Loser of Iran vs Singapore
Malaysia

We took a loss today to Malaysia 82-68 but were already advancing to the second round so I didn't want to burn any enthusiasm. Malaysia did use more enthusiasm and will be in our next group.

Second group should look like this:

China
Singapore
Nippon
Hong Kong
Malaysia
Prathet Thai

That is indeed exactly what our group is. The schedule looks like this:

Prathet Thai
Singapore
China
Hong Kong
Malaysia

I think we will get 2 of these, 3 if we're smart, and 4 if we're lucky. China is the heavy favorite so not even going to attempt to beat them and their monster bigs. Keep up the training and GS minutes to give us the best chance in this round!

We took the first game of the second group 90-78 over Prathet Thai. PD could have been more but Kanazawa only played 11 minutes before getting injured for the game. Komagata paced us with 31 points while we had double-doubles from Nozawa(14 points, 22 rebounds) and Nagashima(13 points, 16 rebounds).

We will next take on Singapore who is 0-1 in the group after falling to Malaysia.
