IWATE BIG BULLS vs ORANGE VIKINGS EHIME
Winning Prediction
Iwate’s inside presence gives them a chance, but their offensive inconsistency remains a major concern. Ehime demonstrated superior late-game composure, free-throw efficiency, and better spacing in Saturday’s win. If Iwate cannot improve their three-point accuracy and assist production, they may struggle again to match Ehime’s rhythm and structured attack.
Ehime to win.
