Dream start for the University of Baskets: Sieg against Gießen planned on Saturday!

The University of Baskets Münster celebrate an exciting start to Pro A after you have won the first two games and are now leading as leader. Coach Götz Rohdewald is optimistic, even if he does not want to overestimate the claims. "No, we don't talk big about it. Of course, this gives us confidence," he says before the upcoming home game against the Gießen 46ers on Saturday at 7:30 p.m.

Before the match against Gießen Rohdewald emphasized that the arena on the mountain Fidel is expected to be sold out. Only about 300 tickets were available on Friday afternoon, which further increases the interest in this duel with the top team. The Baskets had achieved clear victories against the PSK Karlsruhe Lions and the first division club Tigers Tübingen, while expecting a new challenge in today's encounter. "For me, pouring is one of the top 4 of the league," said Rohdewald.

The past season and current concerns

The Gießen 46ers look at a more mixed season. Of the previous three competitive games, they were only able to win one win, while they had lost 79:10 against Middle German BC and accepted an unpleasant defeat against Kirchheim. The victory against Karlsruhe was described by Rohdewald as "somewhat cramped", which underlines the challenges for his team. Despite the previous successes, he warns: "There are only two out of 34 games, which is a megalange season."

There are hardly any injury -related failures on the part of the University of Baskets. Oliver Pahnke will be missing a little longer, but the worries about Nick Stampley are more acute after he has injured his shoulder during training. In contrast, Gießen is well positioned and comes to Münster with one of the most experienced teams in the league. With the commitment of Kevin McClain, a German-American from the Frankfurt Skyliners, the Gießener reacted immediately to the injury to Aiden Warnholtz, which is in the left with a syndesmosis rupture.

The baskets should pay particular attention to players such as the former international Robin Benzing, who already has 167 games on their hump, ex-Hagener Kyle Castlin and Simon Krajcovic. These athletes bring a lot of experience and individual class, which makes the games against pouring all the more exciting.

The upcoming encounters promise an exciting spectacle, not only for the players, but also for the fans who hope for an exciting season. The University of Baskets Münster want to continue their positive run and use the home advantage, while the Gießen 46ers are trying to fight back to the road to success. The focus is still on developments in Pro A, and all eyes are focused on the upcoming games.
