It's been an up-and-down season for the Yokohama B-Corsairs.

Second-year head coach Michael Katsuhisa's squad endured the 14-game absence of big man Wayne Marshall from November through mid-January and the adjustment of adding key newcomers, including Dzaflo Larkai, Carl Hall and Warren Niles.

The squad, coming off a 24-28 season, missed the playoffs for the first time last spring, and a return to the postseason is highly unlikely for the B-Corsairs, who improved to 12-32 with a 98-63 triumph over visiting Fukushima on Sunday.
