Basketball Bundesliga: Bayreuth loses in Ulm

Ulm, 01-16-2022

Once again medi bayreuth proved in the Basketball Bundesliga what they are able to do in terms of play. Due to too many easy mistakes, it was not enough to win in the end. With 81:92 (48:48) the Upper Franconians lost in Ulm.

With Janari Jõesaar in the starting lineup, Bayreuth started highly concentrated and were fully in the game from the first second. However, as the Ulm team also found its rhythm immediately, a high-scoring game developed in the first quarter. Bayreuth took a 26:25 lead into the first quarter break.

Also in the second quarter, the Upper Franconians continued their good performance from the first period. After a three-point play by Kay Bruhnke, a converted free throw by Marcus Thornton and a three-pointer by Sacar Anim, they took a 43:35 lead. Bayreuth's zone defense worked well, although the Ulm team now coped with it a little bit better and managed to equalize before the break to 48:48 at halftime.

After the change of sides, neither team managed to pull away decisively at first. But then the Ulm team struck without mercy. A short phase of weakness on the part of medi was enough for them to pull away to 72:61 within two minutes. At 67:75, medi went into the final period.

Bayreuth mobilized all its strength and was able to close the gap to 72:75 right after the start of the final period. But almost every time medi bayreuth had the chance to pull the momentum on its side, slight mistakes were made. So in the end, the Ulm team was able to record a well-deserved victory.

Next Friday, Head Coach Raoul Korner's team will play again in the Basketball Bundesliga. On their own floor, they will welcome the Basketball Lions from Braunschweig. Tip-off against the Lower Saxons is at 7:00 pm.
