triumph of Ulm's basketball team: Ulm challenges FC Bayern in Würzeburg - Triumph in Würzburg: Ulm Basketball Team Asks for Victory over FC Bayern
You bet your basketball shoes the Bundestag's elite is about to go head-to-head! The formidable Ratiopharm Ulm, reigning champs a few years back, has strategically positioned themselves in the final round of the Basketball Bundesliga, ready to square off against football juggernaut FC Bayern. The Ulmers brutally decimated Würzburg Baskets in the fifth semifinal on their home turf, securing a hard-earned 91:84 (50:43) victory.
The highly anticipated showdown between Bayern and Ulm kicks off on Sunday at 6:00 PM/CET in Munich. These heavyweights, both dominating their respective sports, will face off in an epic battle. Their last playoff series was conquered by Ulm in 2023 with a commanding 3:0.
In the current season, the powerhouses have traded victories in their direct battles. The last dance between Gordon Herbert's powerhouse and the Ulmers ended with Ulm's loss in the final minute of game four.
The Ulmers' stellar performances in the fifth game were catalyzed by Ben Saraf (16 points) and Karim Jallow (18 points, nine rebounds). These two firebrands led coach Ty Harrelson's team to victory, proving that they're a force to be reckoned with.
Würzburg, home to NBA legend Dirk Nowitzki in the past, saw the swan song of young star Hannes Steinbach. The 19-year-old prodigy, who will soon move to college, missed out on the club's first-ever final appearance. Steinbach chipped in 16 points and nine rebounds in the deciding playoff game.
