Universidad de Concepción secured a 93-72 victory over Colo-Colo in the LNB on Saturday, extending their unbeaten run to twelve matches. The visitors finished the game with a comfortable margin, while the hosts remain in fifth place after twelve games. To be fair, the result was never in doubt once the visitors established control.
The visitors can raise the tempo when they need to, and they demonstrated that throughout the contest. Colo-Colo got dragged out of position on several occasions, which allowed Universidad de Concepción to exploit space. By then, the visitors had already turned it around after the early exchanges.
The statistics tell a clear story. Universidad de Concepción recorded 22 assists compared to 16 for the hosts, and they also recorded 13 steals to 7. The visitors converted 33 field goals while the hosts managed 26, though Colo-Colo attempted more three-pointers with 30 compared to 20. The visitors extended their unbeaten run through efficiency rather than volume.
The result keeps Universidad de Concepción at the top of the table with a flawless record from twelve matches. Colo-Colo sit in fifth place with four wins and eight defeats, a gap that shows little sign of closing. The visitors are on a good run, while the hosts have one foot in trouble.
Recent form adds context to the result. Universidad de Concepción had already beaten Colo-Colo 109-76 earlier in July, and they have won five of their last six matches across all competitions. The hosts lost four of their last five before this defeat, which suggests a difficult period for the home side.
