Ulm in crisis: Vice champions lose fifth game in a row!
ratiopharm Ulm is currently following a long dry spell. The team hasn't won a single win in its last five games and now has a record of 3-3 in the BBL. There was a bitter setback when the Ulm team lost 67:75 to the Skyliners Frankfurt and only hit 36.9 percent from the field. Chris Sengfelder was visibly dissatisfied after this game: “It’s not our goal to score 67 points at home.”
The loss to Frankfurt wasn't the only problem for coach Ty Harrelson, who described his team's performance as disappointing. The aforementioned young talents such as Teo Milicic, Mouhamed Diakite and Diego Garavaglia, who came into play in the second quarter and brought a breath of fresh air, deserve special attention.
Strong individual players, weak team performance
Although Chris Ledlum was his team's best scorer with 18 points, he missed 7 of 17 shots and had four turnovers. The problems increased in the decisive fourth quarter when Ulm had to accept five turnovers in a short space of time. Such performances do not speak for the ambitions of last season's runner-up and raise questions about what should happen next.
The Ulm team have won six of their first seven competitive games since the start of the season, but the most recent series shows that something is wrong. The next duel in the EuroCup against the London Lions on Wednesday could offer a chance to stabilize again. The fans hope that their team will show a change in the next Bundesliga game in Bonn on Saturday evening and find their way back to winning ways.
A look at the BBL
The BBL currently has some exciting developments to offer. The table can be on Basketball RealGM can be viewed, where the statistics of the previous season can also be accessed. Ulm's performance has to improve immediately if they don't want to lose touch with the top places.
The team is facing a crucial phase in which they must show that they have what it takes to emerge from this crisis. The coming games will be crucial, not only for the current course of the season, but also for the players' confidence and how they deal with the increasing pressure. The city of Ulm and its basketball fans are ready to finally have reason to celebrate again.
