AL RIYADI AND UTSUNOMIYA BREX COLLIDE IN BLOCKBUSTER BCL ASIA FINAL
It all comes down to this. The reigning kings of Asia, Al Riyadi Beirut, will look to etch their name into BCL Asia history once again, but they’ll have to survive a final test against the challengers from Japan, Utsunomiya Brex.
Al Riyadi have looked every bit the defending champions throughout the tournament. Even without star guard Wael Arakji, the 2024 MVP sidelined due to injury, the Lebanese juggernauts cruised through Group C and made a statement in the Semi-Finals with a commanding 100-78 win over Zhejiang Guangsha Lions. Thon Maker has taken center stage in Arakji’s absence, anchoring the paint, protecting the rim, and providing scoring versatility that few teams have been able to contain.
Standing in their way is a Brex squad that’s writing its own story - one of grit, clutch shots, and deep reserves of belief. After navigating a chaotic group stage and bouncing back from an early loss, the B.League champions dug deep in the Quarter-Finals, outlasting Tabiat Basketball in a double-overtime thriller, 94–93. DJ Newbill was immense, but the win was also a team effort, marked by composure, execution, and a refusal to fold under pressure from the Iranian giants.
Now, the contrast of styles takes center stage. Al Riyadi’s structure, size, and swagger. Utsunomiya’s speed, spacing, and will to survive. It’s the final everyone wanted—and the final both teams believe they’re destined to win.
