MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg: Smack in Chemnitz - 88:111 against NINERS!
The basketball players from MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg suffered a bitter defeat on October 10, 2025. In Chemnitz they lost to the NINERS 88:111 and remained without a win in the Basketball Bundesliga. The game took place in front of 4,118 spectators, who saw a clearly superior team from Chemnitz.
Coach Mikko Riipinen made it clear before the match that his team had to do their best to keep up. Has viewer interest been boosted a bit? The week before, Ludwigsburg had worked intensively on its weaknesses and was able to reduce the number of ball losses from 25 to just nine. The free throw rate also improved to a respectable 87 percent. Nevertheless, the overall performance was mixed and was clearly reflected in the weak shooting rate from distance - in the first half there was only a single three-pointer out of 20 attempts.
Weak defense and injured players
Babacar Sane, a key Ludwigsburg player, was unavailable due to an injury, which made defensive efforts even more difficult. Amadou Sow and Nike Sibande from Chemnitz dominated the game and scored impressive points in total. Sow alone contributed 28 points and was a real linchpin for his team.
Ludwigsburg was already 20 points behind in the first half (54:34) and was able to show off for a short time after the break, but Chemnitz quickly set the course for a clear victory. The Ludwigsburg team managed to score 27 free throws, but Chemnitz continued to be accurate when throwing and the pace of the game was simply too high for the guests. In the end, Tray Buchanan scored the most points for Ludwigsburg with 19 points, followed by Elijah Hughes with 17 points and Jonas Wohlfarth-Bottermann, who contributed 16 points and 5 rebounds.
Prepare for the challenges ahead
For the MHP RIESEN Ludwigsburg it is now important not to bury their heads in the sand. The next challenge is next Sunday in the cup round of 16 against Heidelberg, followed by an exciting ProB derby against Ulm II. This will show whether the team can put the difficulties of the last game behind them and reposition themselves to achieve the successes they are aiming for. Even if the league has 16 teams, like that Statista reports that it is a tough place, the hope for an increase remains. The fans in Ludwigsburg are eagerly awaiting the next games and whether their team can finally get back to winning ways.
