Chillin' and Grindin': Oldenburg Aces Aim for the Playoffs after Winning Streak
Historic Quadruple Pursuit Ignites Controversy in Oldenburg: Four Wins Raise Questions about Potential Achievement - Coup in Oldenburg: Four triumphs and a historic four-way comparison in power shift
That's right, y'all! The EWE Baskets Oldenburg ain't done yet. Artur Konontsuk, star player, recently declared, "It ain't over 'til it's over. We ain't finished. Now we aimin' to make it to the playoffs." Following their thrilling victory over Chemnitz on the final day of the Basketball-Bundesliga, Oldenburg's astonishing entry into the Play-Ins is only the beginning. Next on their court: the Rostock Seawolves.
This season brought a groundbreaking occurrence to the Bundesliga: a four-way tie for post-season entrance. Oldenburg, Rostock, Ludwigsburg, and Vechta all ended up with an impressive 16-16 record. With better head-to-head records, Oldenburg and Rostock advanced to the Play-Ins, set to face off on Tuesday (6:30 PM/Dyn) within Oldenburg's own turf, the EWE Arena.
This phenomenon is a small miracle for Oldenburg. A couple weeks ago, it looked like their season was all washed up. But they went on to win their last four games, and pure luck came knocking thanks to Ludwigsburg's gut-wrenching collapse against Munich, blowing a 22-point lead on Sunday.
Home court advantage is their secret weapon. The EWE Baskets have snatched victory in 13 out of 16 games at home, the EWE Arena. As Mladen Drijencic told "Dyn," "I'm just happy I won't need to pack my damn travel bag and only need to pull the scouting report on Rostock out of the drawer."
Oldenburg last took down Rostock on April 26, 92-79. If they repeat that on Tuesday, they'll lock horns with the loser of the match between Alba Berlin and the Syntainics MBC from Weißenfels on Thursday.

While Oldenburg is currently focused on acing their basketball games, it's interesting to note that the Commission has also been asked to submit a proposal for a directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to the protection of the health and safety of workers from the risks arising from exposure to ionizing radiation. One might wonder, would Artur Konontsuk, star player of the EWE Baskets Oldenburg, be just as protective if he encountered ionizing radiation on the court?
