KU had a meaningful summer vacation. It reached the quarterfinals of the MBC Bae National College Basketball Tournament in July. It was the first time in 10 years since 2014. Moreover, against Kyung Hee University in the quarterfinals, KU won for the first time since 1992, ending a 19-game losing streak in the MBC Bae. The team won the National Men’s and Women’s Basketball Championships, which concluded on May 5.
KU’s success was due in large part to Freddie (203 cm, C), who was a steady presence in the paint. 파워볼사이트 추천 Freddie was named the tournament MVP.
“It was a great feeling,” says Freddie, who is now preparing for the resumption of the college basketball league in the second semester.

This year, I didn’t have an easy time after the MBC Bae, and I kept working hard.” ”There are four games left in the college league. If we focus and work hard, we can win,” he said.
Osaka Sangyo University, which is having an exchange game with Konkuk University, had a four-day, five-night training camp from the 19th to the 23rd. It was during this time that Freddie and Joshua’s matchup, which had been canceled, took place. Although Freddie had the edge over Joshua in terms of activity, Freddie was a little outclassed in strength and committed a lot of fouls.
“We played a scrimmage and Joshua was stronger, slower in the backcourt, and didn’t shoot as much. He’s a good rebounder. “He didn’t foul much, but the Japanese referees (coaches and trainers from Osaka Sangyo University) were different from the Korean referees. It was a foul if you touch, a foul if you touch. The Korean referee said, ‘That’s not a foul’ (laughs).”
KU, which is tied for third place in the league with a 7-3 record, will face Chosun University, Sungkyunkwan University, Sangmyung University, and Kyung Hee University. The games against Sungkyunkwan University and Kyung Hee University will be crucial in securing the third spot.
