In the Bundesliga, Ludwigsburg lost to Bayern – that shouldn’t be repeated on Tuesday in the Champions League in Romania. New concerns for Hulls.

That was nothing. From a Ludwigsburg point of view. A top game with reservations in basketball on Saturday night. The fourth MHP giant Ludwigsburg met the second Bayern Munich – but both teams already had the international tasks on Tuesday in mind. In which Munich travel with a 77:58 victory (in the Euroleague to Barcelona), while in the Champions League the giants also travel to Romania in the quarter-finals for the all-important third game to U-BT Cluj-Napoca. And chairman Alexander Reil left no doubt about the sidelines of the Bundesliga game: “We want to go to the Final Four – even if it’s going to be difficult.” He was thinking above all of the 10,000 spectators in Romania who will make the arena a cauldron again.
Read from our offer: John Patrick correctly predicts the outcome
The MHP Arena on Saturday with its 2756 spectators was a bit far from that. Especially since the giants got off to a false start with 2:13, but a 20:5 run brought the John Patricks team back into play, which even led by 36:30 at the break. But after the change, Munich increasingly took command and the giants gradually lost the line. The air was gone, with 47:22 the second half went to Munich. This was also due to the fact that Ludwigsburg scored catastrophically (16 percent of the three, 50 percent from the free-throw line), and distance specialist Jordan Hulls (only 11:30 minutes playing time) was rested, so that Jonah radebaugh (18 points) was once again the best thrower was.
So now it’s off to Romania for the giants in the Champions League for a real do-or-die (all or nothing) game. In the home game during the week, the giants landed a win by 17 points, but that’s waste. On Tuesday (6 p.m., CET) it starts again from zero; Only victory counts for entry into the Final Four tournament from May 6th to 8th – in Bilbao.
