Regular Season Round 49: Yamagata - Bambitious N. 79-60

Date: March 22, 2026
There was a minor upset when their close opponent Nara (15-34) was smashed by sixth ranked Wyverns (11-38) in Yamagata 79-60 on Sunday. Yamagata looked well-organized offensively handing out 28 assists comparing to just 13 passes made by Bambitious' players. American center Noah Waterman (211-2000, college: Louisville) nailed a double-double by scoring 26 points, 11 rebounds and 6 assists for the winning side and point guard Ryusei Abe (181-1995) accounted for 15 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists. Ukrainian center Viacheslav Petrov (204-1994, agency: BIG) came up with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 17 rebounds and point guard Ryota Kobayashi (178-1991) added 8 points respectively for Bambitious in the defeat. Nara's coach rotated eleven players seeing no chance for a win. The victory was the third consecutive win for Wyverns. Yamagata moved-up to fifth place, which they share with Iwate and Shizuoka. Bambitious lost their third game in a row. They keep the sixth position with 34 games lost. Yamagata will meet league's second-placed Ehime in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Bambitious will play against the league's second-placed Fukushima (#2) and hope to secure a win.
