2.BBL: Coburg's Gala Performance in Ludwigsburg!

Ludwigsburg, 12-14-2024

In the last away game of the calendar year, BBC Coburg delivered their best performance of the season against the Porsche Basketball Academy Ludwigsburg. In a clear 94:62 (52:23) victory, the Vestestädter were focused from the first second and gave the young Ludwigsburg team no chance, especially in the first half. Both Zach Hinton and Ben Diederichs recorded double-doubles in points and rebounds.

This aggression and concentration were evident from the start of the game. Particularly from the outside, Nico Wenzl and Adrian Petkovic continued where they left off last weekend in Ehingen. Through great team play, BBC Coburg secured a double-digit lead after just ten minutes, which they never relinquished throughout the game. A 14-0 run in the middle of the second quarter further extended Coburg's lead. Alert in defense, cold and efficient in offense was the motto of the Vestestädter in the first half, leading to a 52:23 halftime lead for BBC Coburg. Even after the break, Coburg remained vigilant despite their large lead, quashing any potential Ludwigsburg comeback immediately. Although the hosts slowly found their offensive rhythm, the Vestestädter always had the right answer and more on this afternoon. Ben Diederichs extended the lead to over 30 points for the first time three minutes before the end of the third quarter. The final quarter was then a showcase. Coburg continued to move the ball well in attack, with only occasional struggles at the free-throw line. In the end, the 94:62 away victory marked their second consecutive win.

BBC Coburg aims to carry the momentum from the victories in Ehingen and Ludwigsburg into their last game before the Christmas break. Next Saturday, they will face the CATL Basketball Lions from Erfurt in the Franconian-Thuringian derby at their home HUK-COBURG Arena
