Regular Season Round 53: Yamagata - Aomori W. 72-81

Date: March 29, 2025
We cannot really consider it an upset in the game between close teams in Yamagata where 5th ranked Wyverns (20-33) were defeated by sixth ranked Watts (19-34) 81-72 on Saturday. Aomori W. looked well-organized offensively handing out 28 assists. Point guard Yuichi Ikeda (183-1997) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 19 points, 6 rebounds, 12 assists and 5 steals for the winners and American Rashard Kelly (203-1995, college: Wichita St.) chipped in 15 points, 9 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals. Four Watts players scored in double figures. American James Bell (196-1992, college: Villanova, agency: Slash Sports) responded with 25 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists and the other American import TJ Holyfield (203-1995, college: Texas Tech) produced a double-double by scoring 10 points and 10 rebounds. Wyverns' coach rotated eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Aomori W. maintains sixth place with 19-34 record. Loser Wyverns keeps the fifth position with 33 games lost. Aomori W. will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Yamagata will play against Aomori W. (#6) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
