Veolia Towers with a big challenge: Ulm remains unbeaten!

The Veolia Towers Hamburg face a huge challenge! On Saturday, November 2nd, you will have to compete at the undefeated leaders Ratiopharm Ulm. The game begins at 8 p.m. and the tension is tangible, because the Swabians have not yet lost a game in their home arena this season. Dyn broadcasts the exciting duel from 7:45 p.m.

The Hamburgers recently celebrated their first Eurocup win for over a year and a half, and almost 2000 enthusiastic fans were there. But now it is time to transfer the good mood into an away game. Ulm, the surprise champion of 2023, has set up a flawless balance sheet in the Easycredit Basketball Bundesliga and in the BKT Eurocup. The nine encounters between the two teams have all ended in favor of the Ulm - a fact that the Hanseatic ones want to change. Coach Benka Barloschky warns: "Ulm has an incredible number of weapons offensive. Stopping this team is the biggest challenge."

Ulm’s impressive team

The Ulm not only shine through their unbeaten home record, but also through an impressive team structure. The success strategy remains unchanged under the new coach Ty Harrelson, who replaced master coach Anton Gavel. The team emits international flair with talents such as Ben Saraf and Noa Essengue as well as experienced German players such as Tommy Klepeisz and Philipp Herkenhoff. Especially the Puerto-Ricaner Alfonso Plummer, who is top scorer despite his role as a bank player, causes a stir. His ability to sink several three in a row could become a real challenge for the towers.

The Ulm rely on a mixture of talented new additions and proven forces. While Justinian Jessup shines as a starter, Isaiah Roby and Marcio Santos fight for their shape. At the same time, the Ulm young talents offer a platform to prove themselves. The trip to Portland for an NBA preparation game shows that Ulm is present not only in Germany, but also internationally on the basketball map. The tension before the game could not be greater!
