Despite a disastrous start this season, the Shimane Susanoo Magic won¡¯t challenge the Takamatsu Five Arrows¡¯ league record of 50 losses.
Shimane has made a dramatic turnaround in recent weeks, winning eight of its past 11 games.
The Susanoo Magic (11-21 through Sunday) now sit in seventh place in the 10-team Western Conference. That hardly seemed possible in October, November or most of December, though.
