Kai Sotto delivers a second straight double-double but a B1 win remains elusive for the Koshigaya Alphas.
A kaiju effort not enough, yet.
Kai Sotto put up another impressive performance, but it wasn’t enough to prevent the Koshigaya Alphas from falling 87-59 to the Ryukyu Golden Kings Sunday in the 2024-25 B.LEAGUE season.
Sotto had a second straight double-double, finishing with 16 points and 14 rebounds. With the loss though, the Alphas dropped to 0-4 in their debut season in B1.
Despite Sotto’s strong efforts, the Alphas couldn’t keep up with Ryukyu, who improved to 3-1 behind a dominant 24-point outing from Vic Law.
Sotto had been a bright spot for the Alphas this weekend, following up his previous game’s 18 points and 15 rebounds with another solid performance.

However, the team’s lack of scoring punch has been a concern, hurting their chances of finding a victory.
The road ahead doesn’t get any easier for Koshigaya, as the Alphas host the Shimane Susanoo Magic next week in search of their elusive first win in the B.LEAGUE’s top division.
