With the 2024 KUSF University Basketball U-League completing its first half schedule, the 40th MBC Cup National University Basketball (hereinafter referred to as MBC Cup) will be held in Sangju, Gyeongsangbuk-do from the 17th to the 26th.
Dankook University, which was assigned to Group C along with Korea University, Hanyang University and Chosun University, is also concentrating on training to recover from its disappointment in the first half of the university league. Dankook University ranks ninth with three wins and seven losses in 10 matches of the university league.
Song In-joon, a senior at Dankook University, is also sweating ahead of his final MBC Cup. "He is relatively short as a center, but he has long arms and good jumping and flying skills to cover his disadvantage," said Dankook University coach Seok Seung-ho.
Song recorded 3.9 points, 3.1 rebounds, and 0.8 steals for an average of 14 minutes and 18 seconds in 10 college league games last year. The success rate of two-point shots is 73.9 percent (17/23). He has 5.1 points, 3.9 rebounds, and 0.4 assists while playing for an average of 15 minutes or more this year.
What stands out is offensive rebounds. Song's offensive rebound in this season accounts for about 50 percent of his total. In the 2023 U-League, 65 percent of his total rebounds were offensive.
Coach Seok Seung-ho also revealed Song's strengths, saying, "When it comes to offense, we have the advantage of 2-2 pick-and-roll with the players ahead of us. He also participates in quick attack and rebounding." 토토사이트 모음
The most important part for Song is improving his post-play. "I practice a lot of matches with small players on a one-on-one basis and outside defense," coach Seok said. "The most important thing at this point is to improve post-play," pointing out what Song needs to supplement.
