Since 2018, Sungkyunkwan University has been on the stage메이저사이트 of the MBC Cup finals. It’s because we won a game we had to win. This time, they aim to advance to the semifinals for the first time in two years.
Sungkyunkwan University recorded 2 wins and 1 loss in the 39th MBC Cup National University Basketball Sangju Tournament men’s 1st group university group C preliminaries being held at Sangju Gymnasium New Building, confirming its advance to the final tournament after Konkuk University.
Sungkyunkwan University is a regular customer of the MBC Cup finalists. From 2018 to this year, five competitions (excluding 2020, which were not held due to Corona 19) will be on the final stage in a row.
Sungkyunkwan University recorded wins and losses in the same way in the 2019, 2021, and 2022 preliminary rounds. After losing the first match, they won the second and third matches. They lost from the first game and were on the verge of being eliminated from the preliminary round, but won the last game and dramatically repeated their advance to the finals.
Conversely, it is to exert a stronger concentration in the face of being eliminated in the preliminaries.
This year, he broke the jinx of losing the first match by winning 75-68 in the first match against Sangmyung University, but suffered a crushing defeat in the second match against Konkuk University, 57-78. In the last game against Dankook University, which was at stake in the final tournament, they showed concentration at the last minute and won 85-75.
Thanks to this, Sungkyunkwan University has been winning all of them from 2018 to this time in the third match, the last of the preliminary round.
It can be seen as a result of the game schedule, but in the last game that must be won, it has the power to win.
Sungkyunkwan University has reached the semifinals three times out of the last four tournaments it has entered the finals tournament. Last year, he met the strongest Korea University in the semifinals and bowed his head 61-82, failing to advance to the semifinals in four consecutive tournaments.
Lucky for Sungkyunkwan University, which is challenging to advance to the semifinals again after two years. This is because they will face Hanyang University, who can be considered the weakest among the teams that have advanced to the final tournament. Of course, this also applies to Hanyang University. Both teams have a chance to advance to the quarterfinals.
Sungkyunkwan University reached the final tournament, but the content of the match is not satisfactory. Sungkyunkwan University’s unique defense is not coming out.
After the victory over Dankook University on the 16th, coach Kim Sang-joon said, “After the return of the U19 national team players (Kang Seong-wook, Kim Yun-seong), the power should be better, but the hands and feet are not aligned, and Lee Hyun-ho (lost due to injury) is too empty.” Our players did not play for 3 games in a row. It feels like the defense and offense are forcibly put together.”
Freshman Kang Seong-wook and Kim Yun-seong were selected for the U19 Basketball World Cup team around the time they were adapting to basketball at Sungkyunkwan University, and returned to the team after about 40 days. Kang Seong-wook said, “The defense I learned in the U19 national team has changed to a different defense here, so it is difficult. I keep running, so it fits.”
Sungkyunkwan University would be able to achieve the result of advancing to the semifinals 4 times in 5 competitions if it plays like Sungkyunkwan University.
Sungkyunkwan University will face Hanyang University at 3:00 pm on the 18th at Sangju Gymnasium.
