Hwang Joon-sam, coach of Konkuk University, said, “I thought it would be a tough game. Even though the players were tired, I was able to maintain concentration and win the game. I want to compliment them a lot. You did a great job today (November 11).”
Konkuk University took the lead by banking on Freddie’s height from the beginning of the game. Leading 61-51 until the third quarter, the team expected an easy win, but struggled to catch up with Sungkyunkwan University in the fourth quarter. Nevertheless, it did not lose concentration and managed to secure victory.
“He gave us an excuse to chase after him because he was tired. He lost concentration in the fourth quarter and narrowed the gap. Still, he did well until the end and managed to secure victory in the end,” Hwang said.
Konkuk University won the 79th National Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championship, which was held in August. It has also been on the rise since September, with three consecutive wins. With the victory, Konkuk University gained the upper hand in the race for third place with nine wins and three losses.
Coach Hwang Joon-sam said, “We had to push ahead from the MBC Cup to the final. The mood has improved a lot thanks to the team’s victory. There are no injuries, and the players are doing their best, which gives us good results.”
“I think I passed the ninth ridge in the third place fight with today’s victory. I and coach Moon Hyuk-joo worked hard to prepare, and we are getting good results. I will do my best for the rest of the game,” he added.
