Ulm defeats Würzburg and moves into the eagerly awaited final!

An exciting evening in Ulm: On Thursday, ratiopharm Ulm defeated the FIT/One Würzburg Baskets 91:84 and thus secured their place in the final of the Basketball Bundesliga. This decision was made in the decisive fifth semi-final game, which Ulm won with an overall series score of 3-2. Karim Jallow was particularly outstanding, being the game's best scorer with 18 points. Ben Saraf also showed a strong performance and scored 16 points, while the entire team fought with heart against Würzburg.

The big finale is now approaching - Ulm will face Bayern Munich, who took first place in the main round, in the best of all series. The first game in the new best-of-seven system will take place next Sunday at 6:00 p.m. in Munich. The Munich team are aiming for their seventh championship after missing both the cup and the EuroLeague play-offs this season and are doing everything they can to get the title back.

Ulm relies on young talent

In this crucial phase, ratiopharm Ulm also relies on promising talent. Young players like Ben Saraf and Noa Essengue are highly prized and could potentially be drafted into the NBA. Their performance contributes to the positive development of the club, which is on the road to success not only now but also in the future by integrating young athletes.

Regardless of the exciting games, ratiopharm Ulm offers an attractive offer for fans. Home games are often used by groups, be it for family outings, groups of friends or even bachelorette parties. Various packages are available to choose from and can be customized. Exclusive discounts are available for loyal Ulm fans, student groups as well as partners and sponsors, while guest fan groups are excluded from discounts due to a lack of uniform regulations. This makes visiting the game an unforgettable experience for everyone.

Promoting young talent in basketball

Another important aspect in basketball is the promotion of young talent. The Institute for Applied Training Science (IAT) in Leipzig has initiated a comprehensive preparation of data to promote young talent in Germany. This initiative aims to present the complex structures of youth development in basketball in a visual and understandable way. Fact sheets and infographics not only make the bases visible, but also the paths and successes of young athletes, which makes a valuable contribution to the further development of young players. Adam Ligocki, the sporting director of the German Basketball Federation (DBB), emphasizes the direct benefit for everyone involved from this information.

With these developments in mind, it is clear: Basketball in Germany has a promising future, and ratiopharm Ulm plays a central role in it. The anticipation for the final against Bayern Munich is increasing and the fans can look forward to exciting games.
