Thrilling Twist: EWE Baskets Oldenburg Stuns the Basketball-Bundesliga with a Historic Four-Way Tie and an Upcoming Showdown Against Rostock
- *
Historic Comparison: Four Successive Wins and the Possibility of a Rare Quadruple for Oldenburg - Oldenburg Power Grab: Four Wins and a Groundbreaking Four-Way Comparison
The EWE Baskets Oldenburg, the underdogs of the Basketball Bundesliga, have refused to call it quits after an astounding entry into the Play-Ins. Artur Konontsuk, the team's stalwart, declared, "It ain't over 'til it's over! But we're not done yet. Our sights are set on the playoffs now." Their unbelievable win against Chemnitz on the last day of the season confirmed their extraordinary advancement. Next up: the Rostock Seawolves.
This exhilarating season saw a breathtaking event unfold for the first time in Bundesliga history - a four-way tie to decide entry into the knockout round. Oldenburg, Rostock, Ludwigsburg, and Vechta each ended the season with a record of 16 wins and 16 losses. With Oldenburg and Rostock boasting the superior head-to-head record, they qualified for the Play-Ins and will now square off in Oldenburg on Tuesday (6:30 PM/Dyn).
This unexpected triumph is a small miracle for Oldenburg. With a yawning dead stretch in April, the season seemed to be slipping away for the EWE Baskets. However, miracles do happen, and they managed to win four games in a row, with a dash of fortune courtesy of some unlikely outcomes from their competitors. Ludwigsburg's jaw-dropping 22-point lead collapse in Munich on Sunday was one such unexpected event.
Home-court advantage: The trump card
The EWE Arena, where the Oldenburger have clinched victory in 13 out of 16 games, is a fortunate break for the EWE Baskets. "I'm relieved I don't have to pack my bags yet and only need to dust off the scouting report on Rostock," said coach Mladen Drijencic on "Dyn".
Oldenburg's previous win against Rostock, by a score of 92:79 on April 26, will serve as a springboard for their upcoming encounter. If they can pull off a repeat performance on Tuesday, they will face the loser of the Alba Berlin vs. Syntainics MBC Weißenfels duel on Thursday.

In the midst of their miraculous season, the EWE Baskets Oldenburg, known for their tenaciousness on the basketball court, have been galvanized by thetwist of a four-way tie in the Basketball-Bundesliga. As they prepare for their upcoming showdown against Rostock, they might also be inspired by the Commission's proposed directive on the protection of workers from the risks arising from exposure to ionizing radiation, a reminder that even in unlikely circumstances, progress and safety are paramount.
