Myeongji University, which has one win, will advance to the semifinals even if it loses to Hanyang University, the last team in the preliminary round, within 14 points. If the three teams are tied with one win and one loss, the gap between the two teams will be at least +1 point, and thus the team will not be ranked third.

Myeongji had a close game until six minutes left in the fourth quarter. The team repeated the turnaround and the turnaround once in each quarter.

Jang Ji-min scored a come-from-behind 3-pointer when he was dragged to 20-22 with 4:56 left in the second quarter as well as the fourth quarter, and made a tying 3-pointer when trailing 35-38 with 6:50 left in the third quarter.

Without Jang Ji-min's 3-point shot, it would have been difficult for Myongji to win by 15 points.

Jang Ji-min, who had 15 points, nine rebounds, and two assists including three three-point shots, said, "I won about five games in college last year, and most of them didn't have an ankle injury. It's like my first win in a proper game. I love it."

Myongji University had good performances in the college basketball league and the MBC Cup, but the results were not good. In the first game of the championship, he even won the championship.

Jang Ji-min said, "The coach and coach emphasized that the first game is important in the group qualifying tournament," adding, "I carefully prepared the defense and attack one by one and won."

In the middle of the fourth quarter, Jang Ji-min said, "I felt heavy when Lee Min-cheol went out (with five fouls) and our team's main player was excluded. I also felt like giving up," and added, "I decided to do it because I remembered the coach told me to do it until the end. It was good to throw a three-point shot at that time and put it in."

Jang Ji-min, who has a 33.3% success rate of 3-point shots (9/27) in the college basketball league, said, "My sense of 3-point shooting was even better. I don't hesitate when I throw a shot, but I just think of throwing it confidently."

Jang said, "When I come to college, I don't have much confidence when I watch a game that meets my expectations, and when I catch a ball, I get nervous and make a mistake. I practiced to overcome that. I made a lot of mistakes (three) today as well. I need to build up my confidence," adding, "Other players dribble and go in, even if the defense blocks them, they go in as they do, but when I get blocked and pushed, I flinch and grab the ball to kill the next situation. I need to eat a lot and work harder on weight."

Myongji University will play its last preliminary match against Hanyang University on the 2nd. [슬롯사이트](https://bsc.news/post/2024-safety-slotsite-rankings-free-online-slot-site-recommendations-top15)

Jang Ji-min said, "Just like today, I hope we do our best until the end, and play without sinking from the beginning, and win," adding, "The rebound is the most important thing. The 3-point shooting success rate is bad, so we have to raise it as well."
