Ulm remains unbeaten: dramatic win against Rostock with 87:80!

On Saturday evening, October 4th, 2025, an exciting basketball game took place in the BBL between ratiopharm Ulm and Rostock. The encounter ended with a narrow victory for Ulm, which triumphed 87:80. Both teams struggled in the early stages, which created a restless atmosphere on the pitch, but Rostock were already making their mark with long-range throws from Lansdowne and Theis.

Chris Sengfelder showed his class for Ulm right from the start and put his team in the lead with a three and a two. Ulm finished the first quarter with 18:10, but the hosts' defense was not perfect in the second half. On the other hand, Ulm's new signing Bryce Brown was there in this game, but was unable to make a noticeable impact.

Tension until the end

The halftime score of 36:33 for Ulm suggested that the game would also become more tense in the second half. After the half-time break, Rostock increased the pressure considerably and even took the lead with 61:57 before the last quarter. The fans in Ulm transferred their energy into the hall and celebrated their team, which fought back in the decisive phase of the game.

In particular, Malik Osborne, a former Rostock player, appeared as a key player in this crucial phase and ensured that Ulm was able to win the game in the end despite being behind at times. With only 150 seconds left on the clock, Ulm was only six points ahead (81:75) before they mobilized the final strength they needed and secured the victory.

A perfect week for Ulm
