Despite the Win: Alba Berlin Faces Challenges in Securing Immediate Playoff Qualification - Berlin Alba Expresses Concern Over Playoff Participation

Hey there!

It's all come down to the wire for Alba Berlin in the Basketball-Bundlesliga (BBL). Despite crushing BG Göttingen 101-69 in their last game of the regular season, the team's spirit is far from jubilant. That's because the final playoff spot is still up for grabs. Tim Schneider, the wing player, summed it up best: "We don't know where we'll end up."

The pressure's on for Alba Berlin. They're currently in a playoff spot, but it could all change on Sunday—the last day of the regular season. Here's the kicker: Alba's got a bye, so they'll be catching the action from the couch while their opponents duke it out. Particularly, they'll be keeping a close eye on the game between Löwen Braunschweig and the Würzburg Baskets.

Ojeda Expects Seventh Place

If Würzburg loses and Heidelberg Academics beat the Frankfurt Skylines, all three teams—Alba, Würzburg, and Heidelberg—would be tied. In such a scenario, Alba, with the worst record, would be relegated to a play-in spot. According to sports director Himar Ojeda, that's the likely outcome: "The highest probability is that we'll end up in seventh place."

If it comes down to the play-ins, Alba will have to duke it out on Tuesday in their own hall. If they manage to secure a win, they could snag the playoff ticket right at the end. Martin Hermannsson, the team captain, thinks they've got what it takes: "We see a completely different team. That's the old Alba, and that makes me very optimistic for the season finale."
