Regular Season Round 35: Gifu - Yamaguchi 79-75

Date: February 7, 2026
There was no surprise when 13th ranked Pats Five (9-26) lost to seventh ranked Swoops (18-15) in Gifu 75-79 on Saturday. However just four-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. Gifu outrebounded Yamaguchi 40-27 including 28 on the defensive glass. It was an exceptional evening for New Zealand forward Daniel Fotu (203-1999, college: SMC) who led the winners with a double-double by scoring 19 points, 13 rebounds and 4 assists. American forward Jordan Giles (200-1998, college: UMKC, agency: One Motive Sports) accounted for 13 points and 8 rebounds for the winning side. Four Swoops players scored in double figures. American guard Bostyn Holt (201-1999, college: FSU) came up with 21 points and 5 rebounds and point guard Rikiya Yamaguchi (180-1996) added 20 points (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) respectively for Yamaguchi in the defeat. Pats Five's coach tried various players' combinations and tested in total eleven players in this game, but that didn't help. Gifu maintains seventh place with 18-15 record. Yamaguchi lost their sixth game in a row. They keep the thirteenth position with 26 games lost. Gifu will meet at home Yamaguchi (#13) in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Yamaguchi will have a break next round.
