Universidad de Concepcion extended their remarkable run as Chilean basketball's dominant force on Friday, beating Espanol de Osorno 80-74 in the Copa Chile CHERY by Cecinas Llanquihue 2026 final at the Olimpico de la UFRO before a sold-out crowd of over 2,500.
The victory gives UdeC their fourth Copa Chile title (2014, 2022, 2023, 2026) and avenges the Supercopa defeat to these same Diablos Rojos in Santiago back in March. More significantly, it underlines the Campanil's status as the most complete team in Chilean basketball they remain a perfect 12-0 in the 2026 Liga de Apertura regular season heading into the playoffs.
American forward Stephen Maxwell (201-F-1993, college: CSUN), the LNB's leading scorer this season, was named the game's MVP after a performance that broke Osorno's resistance through the middle quarters. Head coach Santiago Gomez was emphatic afterward: "We're tremendously happy with what we achieved today and the atmosphere we experienced here."
UdeC controlled the tempo throughout, building an advantage through their characteristic defensive intensity and balanced attack. Osorno rallied in the closing minutes behind strong performances from Jahsean Corbett (198-G/F-2002, college: Duquesne, agency: Helping Ballers), Ja'Heim Hudson (201-F-2001, college: Auburn, agency: Keter Management),, and captain Barham Amor (185-G-1996), but the deficit proved too large to overcome.
Osorno coach Rodrigo Munoz acknowledged the gap: "In rally situations we tried to solve things individually. They closed down well and we couldn't score. That caused some frustration, and combined with their converting on the other end, they built an important lead."
Both conference champions had earned their places in the final UdeC topped the Conferencia Centro and Osorno led the Conferencia Sur during the regular season. The Copa Chile served as the second major final of the 2026 LNB calendar after Osorno's Supercopa victory.
UdeC's dynasty under Gomez is staggering. The Concepcion club have won eight Liga Nacional titles (most recently 2025), four Copa Chile trophies, and four Supercopa titles, plus three BCL Americas championships (2021-2023). Gomez himself has expressed ambitions to return to continental competition: "It would be wonderful to compete in the BCL Americas or the Liga Sudamericana. I believe it's important for the university's name to appear in the best tournaments in the Americas."

Espanol de Osorno are the champions of the Super Copa Chery by Cecinas Llanquihue 2026, edging Puerto Varas Basket 77–76 in a heart-stopping final at the Edificio de Deportes UC in San Carlos de Apoquindo. The Osorno club claimed the first major title of the Chilean basketball season in an all-Southern showdown, with both finalists hailing from the Region de Los Lagos. Puerto Varas looked the more likely winners for much of the contest, taking a 39–35 lead into halftime behind a strong collective effort. Joshua Morris (203-F-1993, college: UTPB) led the charge with 19 points for the puertovarinos, while M. Pérez added 17 in what was a thoroughly competitive display from the smaller-market club. But Español refused to be denied. Ja'Heim Hudson (201-F, college: Auburn, agency: Keter Management) was simply irresistible in the second half, finishing as the game's top scorer with 28 points in a commanding individual performance. Jahsean Corbett (198-G/F-2002, agency: Helping Ballers) complemented him with 17 points, and together the duo engineered one of the most dramatic comebacks of the tournament, overturning a four-point deficit to steal a one-point victory in the dying moments. The final score of 77–76 summed up a tournament full of drama. Espanol had already shown their resilience in Saturday's semifinal, coming from behind to beat Universidad de Concepción 89–87 with Ja'Heim Hudson named MVP of that match. Puerto Varas, for their part, had upset CD Valdivia to reach the final with an impressive comeback of their own. Español's SuperCopa triumph is a statement of intent for the 2026 season. Having fallen to Colegio Los Leones in the 2024 LNB final, the club from Osorno will look to build on this early silverware as the main LNB campaign gets underway.
