Yonsei University lost to Korea University in the college basketball league like in 2018, but it is aiming to win the regular game and become the champion.
Yonsei finished second by recording 12 wins and 2 losses in the 2024 KUSF University Basketball U-League. It won 10 consecutive games and lost for the first time (56-69) to Korea University, and suffered a regrettable loss (70-76) to Chung-Ang University.
Nevertheless, Yonsei University has the confidence to become the champion in the playoffs, inheriting its 57-54 victory over Korea University.
Yonsei University's trend is the same as in 2018.
Yonsei University won 10 consecutive games six years ago with the opening of the college basketball league, but met Korea University and felt the bitterness of its first loss 83-84, and lost 58-59 to Sungkyunkwan University.
After winning all 10 games in the first semester, he was defeated by Korea University at the beginning of the second semester and finished the regular league with two losses in the season.
On top of that, it continued to fight back in regular games against Korea University, which lost in the final of the MBC Bae National University Basketball Competition and the college basketball league.
All that's left is to meet Korea University again and become the champion in the championship game, the best place in the playoffs.
Yonsei University will face eighth-ranked Hanyang University in the playoffs, which will start from Friday. If the team beats Hanyang University, it will face the winner of third-ranked Konkuk University and sixth-ranked Kyung Hee University. If it advances to the championship game, it could face Korea again.
When asked by phone how he is preparing for the playoffs on Tuesday, Yonsei University coach Yoon Ho-jin said, "I felt once again that if I don't get a shot in the game with Chung-Ang University, I will lose. I will share the weight between the inside and the outside." "I felt the importance of the inside in the regular match, but when I played with Chung-Ang University, the players couldn't score even though I had a chance (from outside). I am thinking about going in a probabilistic manner because such a (lack outside) game can happen in a big game. I am also worried that if I get hit again, the players who throw shots may not be able to throw."
In the semifinals, he is likely to meet No. 3 Konkuk University.
Coach Yoon Ho-jin said, "If we play against Konkuk University, Konkuk University has Freddie. Konkuk University's style is basketball, which values the inside. If we don't lose ground here, we don't have to worry, but the most important thing is how much Lee Kyu-tae plays a role in the middle. We have to cover the inside as well as the outside world," adding, "We also have Kim Bo-bae and Kang Ji-hoon, so Freddie focuses on them."
When he said he could have a showdown with Korea University again, Coach Yoon Ho-jin said, "I want to meet you again, but the players at Korea University have been poisoned. Interviews suggest that Yonsei University will be eliminated. We have to compete again. I don't think we are better than Korea University just because we won regular games. Regular games are a festival of the two schools. I am satisfied that we won and grateful to the players," adding, "We still have consecutive losses in the college league, and our position is clear as a challenger. We made sure that our players did a good job so that they wouldn't lose their minds and won the honor (of winning the regular games), and since this doesn't lead to the 스포츠토토 college league, we need to educate them and try again."
Will Yonsei be able to perfectly recreate 2018? This can be confirmed on Nov. 5, when the championship game takes place.
