Regular Season Round 34: Saitama - Gifu 71-67

Date: February 1, 2026
There was no surprise in Saitama where 7th ranked Swoops (17-15) were defeated by second ranked Broncos (24-8) 71-67 on Sunday. However just four-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Saitama forced 21 Gifu turnovers. The game was dominated by American players. Devin Oliver (203-1992, college: Dayton) had a double-double by scoring 17 points and 12 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and forward Kennedy Meeks (208-1995, college: UNC, agency: Diamond Sports) chipped in 11 points and 8 rebounds during the contest. Broncos' coach Shugaku Izumi used entire bench in such tough game. At the losing side forward Jordan Giles (200-1998, college: UMKC, agency: One Motive Sports) responded with a double-double by scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds and forward Blake Preston (206-2000, college: Northwestern) produced a double-double by scoring 11 points and 15 rebounds. Broncos have an impressive ten-game winning streak. Saitama maintains second position with 24-8 record having just two points less than leader Tokushima Gam. Loser Swoops keeps the seventh place with 15 games lost. Saitama will meet at home Okayama (#4) in the next round. Gifu will play against Yamaguchi and hope to secure a win.
