Date: January 31, 2026
Very expected game in Saitama where 6th ranked Swoops (17-14) were defeated by second ranked Broncos (23-8) 77-62 on Saturday. Saitama dominated down low during the game scoring 50 of its points in the paint compared to Swoops's 24. Americans were the main players on the court. The best player for the winners was Devin Oliver (203-1992, college: Dayton) who had a double-double by scoring 15 points, 12 rebounds and 6 assists. Forward Kennedy Meeks (208-1995, college: UNC, agency: Diamond Sports) chipped in 12 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists. Four Broncos players scored in double figures. Broncos' coach Shugaku Izumi used entire bench saving starting five for next games. At the other side the best for losing team was forward Blake Preston (206-2000, college: Northwestern) who recorded 8 points and 18 rebounds and forward Jordan Giles (200-1998, college: UMKC, agency: One Motive Sports) added 14 points and 6 rebounds respectively. Broncos have an impressive series of nine victories in a row. Saitama maintains second place with 23-8 record having just two points less than leader Tokushima Gam. Loser Swoops dropped to the seventh position with 14 games lost. Saitama will meet at home Gifu (#7) in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Gifu will have a break next round.
