Konkuk University coach Hwang Joon-sam repeatedly gave a thumbs-up to the players' concentration.

Konkuk University won 71-66 against Kyung Hee University in the 2025 KUSF University Basketball U-League at Konkuk University Glocal Campus Gymnasium on the 11th.

Konkuk University, which lost to Kyung Hee University by one point on April 9, avenged its defeat against the team at the time with the victory, and at the same time harvested its sixth win of the season to rise to fourth place alone.

Of course, the match was not as easy as the extension of the previous showdown. One team failed to take the lead easily, and the seesaw game continued throughout the game, and the tug-of-war continued on thin ice.

However, there was no such thing as two consecutive matches between Konkuk University and Konkuk University. Kim Joon-young, Baek Kyung and Freddie alternately showed off their presence in offense, while Konkuk University's unique systematic defense shone through in defense.
As a result, Konkuk University was able to end its final game at home in the first semester of the university with a victory.

"I could have had a better game, but there were too many turnovers," Hwang said after the game. "That was why the game continued to the end. Still, I think my performance without losing concentration turned out well."

Despite winning, Konkuk University players did not have a good field goal success rate overall. Freddie, who recorded 50 percent, had the highest field goal success rate in the team, and the overall field goal success rate was only 34 percent.

Despite the unfortunate circumstances, Konkuk University was able to laugh in front of its home fans only because of rebounds. With Freddie having 20 rebounds, including 11 offensive rebounds, as the team garnered 22 more rebounds (44-20) than Kyung Hee University, creating more chances for offense.

Coach Hwang Joon-sam also agreed.

Hwang explained the reason for his victory, saying, "I won the rebound number today, so I was able to catch the game. I missed a lot of easy shots and had a lot of turnovers, but he did a great job by concentrating on defense until the end."

As the saying goes, "The Spring and Autumn Warring States Period" in this university league, there are no strong or weak players. Korea University and Yonsei University, which are classified as powerhouses and top dogs every season, are also continuing their tenacious competition by competing closely with other universities.

The same goes for Konkuk University, led by head coach Hwang Jun-sam. Except for the match between Myeongji and Sangmyung University, all matches were decided within 10 points.

In response, Hwang said, "We are playing an equal game with all the teams, not just Kyung Hee University, which we played today. Players need to know how to distinguish our strengths more, but I still regret that." 온라인카지노

"Since we are a team that puts defense first, we need to focus more on this part after the semester ends. The same goes for rotation. Lee's injury is okay because other players are filling in well," he added.
