The 2024 KUSF University Basketball U-League has completed its first semester. Twelve male college teams played 10 games each. They will play four games in the second semester. Kyung Hee University (7 wins and three losses), Sungkyunkwan University, Chung-Ang University (six wins and four losses), and Myeongji University (1 wins and nine losses), which belong to Gyeonggi Province, have decided to select representatives for the National Sports Festival based on their college basketball league performance by the first semester. If the team scores a tie, the team will determine its superiority based on the results of the MBC Cup National University Basketball Championship. 실시간 바카라사이트
When each team played nine games, Kyung Hee University, Sungkyunkwan University, and Chung-Ang University tied with six wins and three losses, and they coincidentally belonged to the same group B in the MBC Cup. The representative for the Gyeonggi National Sports Festival was expected to be decided in the MBC Cup. Chung-Ang University was held back by Konkuk University 70-79, and Kyung Hee University easily defeated Chosun University 85-38. Chung-Ang University was eliminated first.
Sungkyunkwan University faced off against Hanyang University on the 2nd. Sungkyunkwan University was expected to have the upper hand before the match. However, Sungkyunkwan University lost its lead in the second quarter, losing 14 consecutive goals. Sungkyunkwan University, which came from behind in the second half, fell to Hanyang University 59-66 after losing its final focus.
Kyung Hee University expected to clash with Sungkyunkwan University on the 20th over the finals and the right to participate in the National Sports Festival, but Hanyang University beat Sungkyunkwan University, so they got the right to participate in the National Sports Festival in Gyeonggi Province early.
“Our players worked hard and performed well in the college league, so we were able to participate in the National Sports Festival,” Kyung Hee University coach Kim Hyun-guk said in a phone call on the 3rd. “I wanted to make the decision easier (by performing better in the college league), but they are teams that have to win the MBC Cup, and the game is also important. This is the result of preparing well for the college league. We have to do well in the National Sports Festival, which is difficult,” he said.
When asked about the income earned by becoming the representative of the National Sports Festival, head coach Kim Hyun-guk said, “It’s an honor to represent Gyeonggi-do Province. It’s not meaningful at school, but it’s an honor to represent Gyeonggi-do Province at the national competition,” adding, “I’ve achieved my goal of training hard and producing results. Training support is paid, which also helps the team run. This year, I have about a month to spare before the (university league) playoffs, but I can play in the National Sports Festival.”
Before the opening of the college basketball league, Chung-Ang University and Sungkyunkwan University, which had been prominent in reinforcing their power as freshmen, were expected to be ahead of Kyung Hee University. Kyung Hee University overturned this expectation.
Coach Kim Hyun-guk said, “I did not train for the national sports team. Even if my goal this year is to raise the level, I didn’t give up the race. I need to show good performances this year as well to improve my skills for next year.” I didn’t think my skills would be lowered starting from the winter training. “I thought it was okay because the players showed me potential from the beginning of the season,” he said. “I achieved this result because the players worked hard and the coaches taught me hard.” No matter which team is better this year or next year, it does not lead to the outcome of the game.
The communication between players and leaders and the players’ willingness to win determine the outcome of the game in college games. It’s important whether you play with the will as a one-team. That’s why I got a good result.” Kyung Hee University will also try to advance to the final tournament in the MBC Cup, which will begin in Sangju, North Gyeongsang Province on the 17th.
