Regular Season Round 30: Gifu - Niigata A. 81-76

Date: January 17, 2026
We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams in Gifu where seventh ranked Swoops (15-13) defeated 6th ranked Albirex (18-12) 81-76 on Saturday. Gifu shot the lights out from three sinking 14 long-distance shots on high 53.8 percentage. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. Point guard Reo Yamazaki (179-1999) scored 20 points and 4 assists to lead the charge for the winners and American forward Blake Preston (206-2000, college: Northwestern) chipped in 8 points and 13 rebounds during the contest. The best for the losing side was center Mutombo Jean-Pierre (206-2002) with 18 points, 9 rebounds and 4 blocks (on 8-of-9 shooting from the field) and point guard Aruma Hamada (178-1997) scored 11 points and 6 assists. Four Niigata A. players scored in double figures. Albirex's coach tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Swoops have a solid three-game winning streak. Gifu maintains seventh position with 15-13 record. Loser Albirex dropped to the fifth place with 12 games lost. Gifu will meet Shinagawa (#14) on the road in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Niigata A. will play against Kanazawa (#10) and hope to secure a win.
