Regular Season Round 43: Fukushima - Ehime OV 83-80

Date: March 7, 2026
Second-ranked Orange Vikings (27-16) gave a tough game to second ranked Firebonds (33-10) in Fukushima on Saturday. Firebonds managed to secure only three-point victory 83-80. However their fans expected easier game. It was a great evening for Egyptian-American center Patrick Gardner (211-1999, college: Marist) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 34 points (!!!), 10 rebounds and 4 assists. American swingman Kenny Manigault (195-1991, college: Pikeville) helped adding 10 points, 8 rebounds, 7 assists and 6 steals. At the losing side American Shaquille Hines (201-1993, college: UTRGV) responded with 22 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists and Dutch center Matt Haarms (221-1997, college: BYU) produced a double-double by scoring 20 points and 11 rebounds. Five Ehime players scored in double figures. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Firebonds have an impressive series of six victories in a row. Fukushima keeps a position of league leader, which they share with Shinshu. Ehime at the other side keeps the second place with 16 games lost. Fukushima is looking forward to face league's second-placed Ehime in Matsuyama in the next round and it will be for sure the game of the week. Ehime will have a break next round.
