KOGAS unfortunately lost 85-87 after a close match with No. 1 Anyang KGC Ginseng Corporation in the 2022-23 SKT professional basketball away game held at Anyang Indoor Gymnasium on the 29th. Korea Gas Corporation gave 9 points each to Byun Jun-hyeong and Oh Se-geun of KGC Ginseng Corporation in the first quarter and took the lead 14-26. However, from the 2nd quarter, Lee Dae-hyun and Lee Dae-sung started chasing with 3-point shots and quick plays, and eventually succeeded in turning around in the 4th quarter, and took a 3-point lead with 76-73 until 3.7 seconds before the end of the quarter.

It was like catching a ‘big fish’. However, KGC Ginseng Corporation took the game into overtime with Byun Jun-hyung and Daryl Monroe making three successful free throws, and Monroe’s goal 2 seconds before the end of the game resulted in a sweaty come-from-behind victory.

Although they lost, the KOGAS players received applause from the fans for their tenacious play despite the bad news of Murphy Holloway’s sudden departure from the team. Korea Gas Corporation coach Yoo Hoon said before the game, “Halloway has been unable to finish the season together due to personal circumstances.” Holloway averaged 25 minutes and 46 seconds in 34 games this season, averaging 12.3 points, 10.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists and 1.1 steals.

KOGAS also played a close game against Seoul SK the previous day, going to the third overtime, but lost 116-118. It was a bloody fight lasting 2 hours and 59 minutes, the longest of the 7 third rounds of overtime in professional basketball history.
