We beat Hong Kong 95-68 to improve to 3-1 in the second group! This is now the most wins for Nippon ever in the second group, Continentals, or a single season. Sakuma was the absolute man for us, pouring in 65 points and hitting 10 3s.

We will next face Malaysia. They beat us in the first group 82-68 but did use more enthusiasm to do it. We advance with a win, or with a loss and a better PD than Hong Kong and Malaysia.

I once had a team with 1757 players and was $25,835,360 in debt. This is not that team. Join the Discord group open to anyone, but especially for USA managers to improve your club or get involved with the U21 and NT programs (https://discord.gg/cKpNkt2).

Another jump in the rankings! We are now ranked 43 with 184.8 ranking points, making season increases of 25 and 73.9.

Thanks! A win would be a nice way to end the group, but even if we lose by less than 31 we will be in the Repechage either way because our chances are roughly 0.3% to win in the Semifinals if we make. Still, been a great season!

Congratulations for the win against Malaysia! We didn't play our best lineup but we didn't give the game away neither. You just won the first ever trophy for a Japanese U21 team, it's a great feeling to see history in the making. Congratulations!

A couple days late on this, but just as Nico4nicolas said, we got a 95-81 win over Malaysia to take 2nd in the group and earn a place in the Asia Semifinals for the first time in history. Their TIE helped, but our players still had to win the game after we played CT on Hong Kong last week.

As far as rankings go, we are now ranked 38 with 206.9 Ranking Points. Those are season increases of 30 and 95.2.

We will face Australia in the Semifinals and should have no problem losing by 30+, but it is still great to have Nippon represented at a time when only 16 U21 in the world teams are still playing.

Our season comes to a close with a final record of 8-4. We took 3rd in the first group after going 4-2, then 2nd in the second group going 4-1. Finally, we lost to Australia in the Asia Semifinals 116-55. They are a far superior team, but having playing Crunch Time against both Hong Kong and Malaysia left our enthusiasm really low.

Thank you for all the support this season, and to all the managers for consistently training players to help us succeed. We will begin Season 41 in the Repechage and hope for a decent draw to see about making a jump to Worlds or getting through the Consolation tournament.
