Von wegen zu soft!
Die FC Bayern Basketballer sind pünktlich zu den Play-offs knallhart. Auch das zweite Spiel im Viertelfinale um die deutsche Meisterschaft gegen den Syntanics MBC geht mit 80:65 (38:32) an die Münchner!
Wilde Szene in der BBL: Basketball-Ronaldo haut Trainer um
Die Kritik von Gordon Herbert (66) hat gewirkt. Zuletzt sagte der Weltmeistercoach noch: „Wir spielen, als wäre das ein Freiplatz am Strand. Wir sind kein toughes Team, nicht physisch. Aber wenn unser Compete-Level null ist, sind wir weich. Wenn ich mir ein Eis kaufen würde, wäre das härter. Wir sind soft.“
Davon ist nichts mehr zu sehen!
Dabei ist der MBC diese Saison der Angstgegner der Bayern – bis jetzt! Erst die Pleite in der Hinrunde, dann das Peinlich-Aus im Halbfinale des BBL-Pokals und zuletzt in München schafften die Bayern erst in letzter Sekunde den knappen Sieg gegen den Pokalsieger.
Kurios: Schon vor dem Spiel verkündet MBC-Guard Spencer Reaves (29) bei Dyn: „Den Sieg widme ich meinem Hund. Also, wenn wir siegen.“ Sein Willie (ein Wheaten Terrier) hatte am Dienstag Geburtstag.

Der BBL-Zwerg aus Weißenfels startet gut und selbstbewusst. Elf Heimspiele in Folge hat der MBC gewonnen. Der Außenseiter findet immer wieder Wege durch die gute Bayern-Abwehr, doch der Titel-Favorit bleibt cool.
Auch Bundestrainer Alex Mumbru (45) ist in der restlos ausverkauften Turnhalle (3000 Zuschauer) in Sachsen-Anhalt dabei. „Die Bayern haben das zweite Viertel gut gemacht. Ich schau mir die Nationalspieler ganz genau an.“
[–>Nach der Pause zeigt sich die Bayern-Dominanz: Ein 7:0-Lauf, Weißenfels fällt nichts ein, die Bayern zwischenzeitlich auf 16 Punkte auf und davon. Weiterhin ohne Super-Star Carsen Edwards (24), der seit Wochen mit Rückenproblemen ausfällt. Dafür sorgt Weltmeister Johannes Voigtmann (32) für die Punkte.
Zeigen die Bayern noch Nerven?
„Passt auf den Ball auf“, schimpft Gordon Herbert im Time-out zu Beginn des vierten Viertels.
Und das tun seine Männer. Die Bayern abgezockt und mit ganz viel Übersicht, der MBC kraftlos und müde. Am Ende siegen die Bayern 80:65.
Jo Voigtmann bei Dyn: „Wir haben die Intensität hochgefahren, haben uns gut vorbereitet. Wir wollen Meister werden und dürfen jetzt nicht nachlassen. Das Ding ist noch nicht durch.“
2:0 steht es in der Best-of-five-Serie für die Bayern und die Tür zum Halbfinale ist ganz weit offen. Weiter geht es am Samstag (16.30 Ihr, live bei Dyn) in München im SAP-Garden. Dann haben die Bayern ihren ersten Matchball.

Dave Portnoy on Bill Belichick at UNC: ‘I Want Him Out of College Football’
Underwhelming. Discouraging. Catastrophic.All three words could accurately describe Bill Belichick’s first season in Chapel Hill as head coach of the North Carolina Tar Heels.The Tar Heels are off to a dismal 2-3 start this season and have managed a total of four touchdowns in three losses to power-conference opponents. They have been outscored 120-33 in those three losses, an average margin of 29 points per game.Things have gotten so bleak that Belichick and UNC athletic director Bubba Cunningham took to social media earlier this week to reaffirm their commitment to each other — a rare move, prompted by reports and speculation of behind-the-scenes dysfunction within the program.Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy addressed the situation during an #AskDave segment on "Big Noon Kickoff," responding to the question:What's your take on UNC sticking with Belichick?Portnoy didn't hold back with his answer."I think […]
Who’s on the Move First: Penn State’s James Franklin or Texas QB Arch Manning?
Few coaches in college football are under more pressure than Penn State's James Franklin, and few players are under more pressure than Texas Longhorns quarterback Arch Manning. Which one could have a new home first?FOX Sports college football analyst Mark Ingram was faced with that question during Saturday's edition of "Big Noon Kickoff.""I have to go James Franklin," Ingram said when asked whether Franklin or Manning are more likely to be in their last season with their current program. "Penn State's already getting fed up. They're already doing a GoFundMe to raise buyout money. They can't win a top-10 matchup. James Franklin is 4-21 against top-10 teams since he's been there. They just got stepped on by UCLA."And, quite frankly, Arch, he's continuing to grow. We put a lot on his plate, but he'll be back in Austin next year, […]
Five huge FIFA World Cup qualifiers around the globe: Could Germany, Italy and Nigeria really be at risk?
With eight months to go until the 2026 World Cup kicks off at the Estadio Azteca, the stakes are ratcheting up in qualifiers across the world. Africa's first round, in which six spots are to be filled, concludes during this break from the club season while two more spots are up for grabs in Asia. There is no such finality to games in Europe and North America just yet, but there is altogether less room for slip ups for some of the biggest sides in the sport... and indeed for some of the smallest nations.Here, then, are five games that could be among the most crucial in the race for one of the 45 qualification spots in north America next summer.1.

Mariners vs. Blue Jays ALCS schedule, prediction, odds: Seattle seeks first AL pennant; Toronto hosts Game 1
Getty Images In the wake of the 15-inning marathon that was Game 5 of the ALDS between the Seattle Mariners and the Detroit Tigers, the Mariners now only have one day off before starting the American League Championship Series against the Toronto Blue Jays. It's a fresh matchup. The two teams have only faced each other once in the playoffs and that was the Wild Card Series in 2022, with the Mariners winning two games to none. The Blue Jays haven't been to the ALCS since 2016 and haven't been to the World Series since 1993. The Mariners haven't been to this round since 2001 and have never won the AL pennant. They remain the only team of 30 in MLB to have never played in the World Series. They'll have their chance to advance here, but they have to deal […]
Fantasy Football Rankings, sleepers, streamers, cheat sheets for NFL Week 6, 2025 in PPR, standard leagues
When the season began, one wouldn't have imagined that coveted Week 6 Fantasy football picks consisted of names like Rico Dowdle, Javonte Williams, Kendrick Bourne or Ryan Flournoy. But they all had 100-plus scrimmage yards on Sunday, with Dowdle going north of 200. Did they just have good matchups, or did their performances shoot them up the Week 6 Fantasy football rankings? Both recent performances and current matchups should be taken into account when making Fantasy football start/sit decisions.Dowdle had 206 yards versus the Dolphins, who will host the Chargers on Sunday. L.A. has now lost both Najee Harris and Omarion Hampton to IR, leaving Hassan Haskins and Kimani Vidal as the next men up in the backfield. Should either, or both, make their way into Week 6 Fantasy football lineups? Also, what does Joe Flacco's arrival in Cincinnati mean […]
