Japan looking to go 3-0 in front of sold-out Arena Tochigi
There really is an excitement around Japan's basketball movement. After making it to the 2024 Summer Olympics, the Akatsuki secured a historical win over China en route to the FIBA Asia Cup 2025, and their road to the competition resumes from a sold-out Arena Tochigi.
Japan will look to build on their momentum, even without their star Yuta Watanabe, as they host winless Mongolia: the visitors have given the ball away a whopping 23 times per game in their first two losses, scoring only 56 points per game. It will be a tough challenge for Mongolia to create trouble for Josh Hawkinson and co, a well-drilled unit that will look to clinch qualification during this window.
