As the season marches closer to the finish line, the Yokohama B-Corsairs are striving to develop consistency and climb in the Eastern Conference standings.
Since the start of December, first-year bench boss Taketo Aoki’s club has had the following results: win, loss, loss, win, win, loss, loss, loss, loss, win, win, win, loss, loss.
That puts the B-Corsairs at 16-16, with 20 games remaining before the bj-league's 11th and final playoff campaign. They sit in seventh place in the 12-team East, and a game ahead of the eighth-place Aomori Wat's (15-17), who would own the conference's final spot in the postseason if the playoffs started today.
