Kretschmann's visit brings bad luck: Ulm suffers its fourth bankruptcy in a row
On Saturday evening, November 2nd, 2025, basketball fans experienced a disappointing evening in the sold-out Ratiopharm Arena in Ulm. The reigning German runner-up Ratiopharm Ulm suffered a bitter 67:75 defeat against the Frankfurt Skyliners. This continued the negative series: it was the fourth defeat in a row for the team.
Among the spectators was Prime Minister Winfried Kretschmann, who was probably hoping for a better game. But the Ulm team appeared rather weak, especially in the second half. Head coach Ty Harrelson expressed disappointment with his team's performance and identified turnovers and rebounding as key weaknesses. The hit rate of just 37 percent from the field is another indication of the problems Ulm had to contend with.
Development in the game
The 15 turnovers that Ulm recorded, especially in the decisive phase of the game, were particularly painful. Despite these difficulties, some players were still able to make their mark. Chris Ledlum was the top scorer with 18 points, followed by Malik Osborne who scored 11 points.
A special highlight of the game was the return of Tommy Klepeisz, who celebrated his home comeback. The young Teo Milicic also celebrated his Bundesliga debut and scored three points and an assist. But overall it was a mixed performance from the team, which urgently needs to work on its form in the first half of the season.
Outlook and future
Given the current situation and the upcoming games, Ratiopharm Ulm will have to reorient itself in order to get back on the road to success. The coming challenges are not only of a sporting nature, but also of a strategic nature. Considerations must be made about how to strengthen the team for the next games and the rest of the season.
In a broader context of the basketball world, it appears that other teams are already planning for the new season. In the south, Taylor County is considered one of the top teams for next season, while rumors of player and coaching changes are also circulating there. Such developments are important as they influence competition and may also have an impact on the league.
The sporting future remains exciting, and fans can look forward to seeing how the situation will develop in the coming period. It is clear that Ulm urgently needs a turning point in order to put the last results behind them and get back on the road to success. The next games will show whether coach Ty Harrelson's team can turn things around.
It looks like both Ratiopharm Ulm and the other regions are looking for stability and success. There will definitely be a lot of movement in the future. So let's stay tuned and hope for better times for Ulm!
