Universidad de Concepcion — CD Puerto Varas: 96:76, LNB

Universidad de Concepción beat Puerto Varas 92-74 in the LNB on Wednesday, keeping their perfect record intact. The hosts have now won twelve games without a single defeat, while their visitors sit third after seven wins and five losses. And here's the thing — the gap between them isn't just in the table but in consistency.

Concepción shot more efficiently from the field, converting twelve of twenty-six attempts compared to Puerto Varas's eleven of twenty-five. The home side also limited turnovers to just two, while the visitors coughed up five. Fewer mistakes meant more possessions, and that showed in the final scoreline.

Rebounding was tighter than expected. Puerto Varas pulled down fifteen boards against twelve for Concepción, but the extra rebounds didn't translate into extra points. The away team tried from distance, hitting three of twelve three-pointers, but couldn't match the home side's inside presence.

Puerto Varas lost their last two games against Puerto Montt, while Concepción have been steady — a narrow win over Puente-Alto, then a comfortable victory against Español de Talca. To be fair, the visitors have shown they can compete; their recent 83-62 win at Universidad Católica proved that. But this fixture wasn't one of those nights.

The result keeps Concepción at the top with twelve points from twelve games. Puerto Varas remain third, five points behind the leaders. By then — if these sides meet again — the pressure will be on the visitors to close the gap without losing further ground at home.
