• Second-quarter separation: A 12-2 run midway through the second quarter pushed Chung Ang’s lead to 18 points. Hanyang could not find an answer for Chung Ang’s pick-and-roll offense, which generated open mid-range shots and layups.
• Hanyang’s third-quarter push: Down by 20 early in the third, Hanyang mounted a furious 14-2 run, cutting the deficit to single digits. However, Chung Ang responded with a timely timeout and reasserted control with back-to-back three-pointers.

Standout Performances

Chung Ang University was led by a balanced offensive attack. Their backcourt duo combined for 48 points, with the point guard dishing out 11 assists to fuel the high-scoring output. The team’s big men dominated the glass, grabbing 42 rebounds as a unit — 14 on the offensive end — which led to numerous second-chance points.

Hanyang University saw strong individual efforts from their leading scorer, who poured in 28 points on efficient shooting, and a versatile forward who added 18 points and 9 rebounds. However, lack of consistent defensive stops and turnovers (16 in total) undermined their offensive contributions.

Tactical Story: Pace and Space vs. Interior Defense

They attempted 35 three-pointers, converting 14, and frequently drew Hanyang’s defense out of position. Hanyang tried to counter by going inside, but Chung Ang’s help defense collapsed effectively, forcing contested shots. The visitors also excelled in generating turnovers, turning 11 steals into 20 fast-break points.
