Regular Season Round 32: Yamagata - Iwate 70-60

Date: January 25, 2026
We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams when sixth ranked Wyverns (8-24) won against 5th ranked Big Bulls (9-23) in Yamagata 70-60 on Sunday. Yamagata outrebounded Iwate 36-22 including 29 on the defensive glass. Yamagata looked well-organized offensively handing out 21 assists. The winners were led by point guard Ryusei Abe (181-1995) who scored that evening 21 points and American James Bell (196-1992, college: Villanova, agency: Slash Sports) supported him with 7 points, 6 rebounds and 8 assists. Even 21 points and 4 assists by American forward Clay Mounce (199-1998, college: Furman, agency: Slash Sports) did not help to save the game for Iwate. point guard Sogo Yamagiwa (179-2002) added 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists for the guests. Both coaches allowed to play bench players saving starting five for next games. Yamagata maintains sixth position with 8-24 record. Loser Big Bulls keeps the fifth place with 23 games lost. Yamagata will meet league's second-placed Fukushima on the road in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Iwate will play against the league's leader Kobe S. and hope to secure a win.
