Würzburg Baskets
Ganz wichtiger Erfolg in der Basketball-Champions League für die Fitness First Würzburg Baskets. Mit dem 85:56 bei Bosniens KK Igokea sind die Play-Ins sicher.
Am letzten Spieltag müssen die Baskets noch in Triest ran. Mit einem Sieg wäre das Team von Coach Sasa Filipovski dann sogar als Zweiter der Gruppe E direkt für die nächste Runde qualifiziert.
Ist dieser Trick legal?: Basketballer verschwindet plötzlich und trifft!
Das Hinspiel vor fünf Wochen hatte Würzburg hauchdünn 70:68 gewonnen. Am Mittwoch zerlegen die Baskets den phasenweise hilflos wirkenden Gegner mit 85:56 (46:29).
„Würzburg zerlegt Igokea in sämtliche Einzelteile. Eine Vorstellung, die man mit Sternchen versehen kann“, jubelt selbst Dyn-Kommentar Stefan Koch, der sich sonst nur selten zu Superlativen hinreißen lässt.
Das Spiel nervt Igokeas Coach Nenad Stefanovic massiv. Als sein Team mit 33:59 (27.) zurückliegt, nimmt er eine Auszeit. „Wir reden nicht mehr über Basketball. Sondern nur noch über Stolz“, sagt er ganz ruhig.
Eine Aussage, auf die einer seiner Spieler offenbar gar nicht klarkommt. „Stolz?! Davon haben wir nichts! Null“, motzt sein Starspieler Breein Tyree dazu und feuert seine Trinkflasche weg.
Doch trotz der deutlichen Ansage bessert sich das Spiel der Bosnier nicht. Im Gegenteil.
[–>Für Stefan Koch ist bereits im dritten Viertel alles klar. In der 29. Minute sagt der Basketball-Experte: „Glückwunsch an Würzburg zum Erreichen der Play-ins in der Champions League.“
Sasa Filipovski nutzt das letzte Viertel, um seine Stammspieler zu schonen. Und so sind es am Ende nur 29 Punkte Vorsprung.
Beste Spieler: Marcus Carr (Würzburg/ 19 Punkte), Javon Bess (Igokea/ 15 Punkte).

PAOK Thessaloniki – Löwen Braunschweig 88:87
Bittere Niederlage der Löwen in Griechenland. Das 87:88 bedeutet auch das Aus im Europe Cup. Bitter deshalb, weil Braunschweig 0,5 Sekunden vor Schluss noch mit einem Zähler führte. Doch dann wurde PAOKs Ben Moore beim Alley-Oop-Zuspiel gefoult. Und versenkte beide Freiwürfe zum Sieg.
Beste Spieler: Joshua Obisie (Braunschweig/ 27 Punkte), Cleveland Melvin (PAOK/ 26 Punkte).
Rostock Seawolves – FC Porto 96:68 (49:37)
Im Europe Cup mussten die Hanseaten gegen den FC Porto ran. Großen Wert hatte das Spiel nicht, da sich die Rostocker bereits vor der Begegnung für die 2. Runde qualifiziert hatten.
Rostocks Bagette setzt sich gegen Javian Davis durch. Die beiden Spieler waren jeweils die Topscorer für ihre Teams
<!–>
Dennoch hatte der Tabellenführer der Gruppe B die Begegnung über die gesamten 40 Minuten im Griff. Anders als noch im Hinspiel vor drei Wochen, das die Rostocker überraschend beim Letzten verloren hatten (75:87).
Vor allem im letzten Viertel sahen die 3200 Zuschauer in der Rostocker Stadthalle extrem dominante Seawolves. Kassim Nicholson und Jalen Page machten zusammen 16 Punkte in den letzten zehn Minuten, das Rostock mit 27:11 gewann.
Beste Spieler: Elias Bagette (Rostock/ 16 Punkte), Javian Davis (Porto/ 12 Punkte)
Rasta Vechta – Dinamo BDS Sassari 77:73
Bittersüßer Sieg für Vechta im Europe Cup. Die Rasta-Männer schlagen den Tabellenführer in ihrer Gruppe, doch der Sieg ist am Ende wertlos, weil parallel Sporting CP gegen CS Valcea 1924 gewinnt und damit Platz zwei und das Weiterkommen sichert.
Fazit von Sportdirektor Gerrit Kersten-Thiele: „Heute war erst einmal wichtig, dass wir eine Reaktion, eine Entwicklung gezeigt haben – das war wichtig. Im FIBA Europe Cup waren wir nicht angetreten, um nur dabei zu sein. Aber wir haben uns das Leben häufig selber schwer gemacht, was schade ist. Gut ist, dass wir heute mit dem Sieg einen positiven Abschluss geschafft haben.

Bill Belichick’s UNC misses bowl eligibility after trick play by Duke
When Bill Belichick was introduced as UNC head coach 11 long months ago, he revealed, joked or lied that his first words as a child were "Beat Duke."His program fell short of that goal on Saturday, and the result is a disappointing season will officially end next weekend. The Tar Heels lost to Duke 32-25, pushing their record down to 4-7 and leaving them unable to reach bowl eligibility next week against NC State.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementIt wasn't just any loss to their biggest rivals either. At home, UNC had come back from down 24-10 to take a 25-24 lead early in the fourth quarter. That remained the score until the final three minutes, when the Blue Devils lined up for a go-ahead field goal that would have given the Tar Heels the ball back with more than two minutes left and a […]
Washington Spirit vs. Gotham FC, NWSL Championship: Trinity Rodman’s status hangs over title match
Two star-studded teams in the Washington Spirit and Gotham FC will meet in San Jose for the NWSL Championship, a competitive match likely in store as each side chases their second league title, but the big question looms -- will Trinity Rodman play?The pair took contrasting roads to the NWSL Championship, the No. 2 seed Spirit advancing as the favorites in their matchups while Gotham played spoiler as the No. 8 seed, eliminating the runaway NWSL Shield winners in the Kansas City Current and last year's champions Orlando Pride. To describe this as a David vs. Goliath-type game would be a misnomer, though, Gotham have been inconsistent, but they won the Championship just two years ago and boast an MVP nominee in Esther Gonzalez.While Gonzalez and new Gotham recruict Jaedyn Shaw headline Juan Carlos Amoros' team, the attention will also […]
Bills RB Ty Johnson fined $10,777 for pelvic-thrust TD celebration in win over Bucs
The NFL has fined Buffalo Bills running back Ty Johnson $10,777 for "obscene gestures" as part of a crackdown on unsportsmanlike conduct. Johnson did a thrust-heavy celebration after scoring a go-ahead touchdown in the Bills' win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 11.With less than a minute left in the first half, Johnson broke away on third-and-5 to sprint 52 yards for the touchdown. To celebrate, Johnson grabbed his leg, seemingly pretending to have sustained an injury (à la the Kansas City Current's Lo'eau LaBonta), and fell before grinding his pelvis against the ground twice.AdvertisementAdvertisementAdvertisementBuffalo went on to win the game, 44-32, behind a six-touchdown night from quarterback Josh Allen.The fine comes a couple of weeks after Carolina Panthers running back Rico Dowdle was fined $14,491 for a similar celebration. Dowdle did "two pumps" (i.e., thrusted his pelvis twice) […]
Kyle Shanahan says Brandon Aiyuk’s guarantees were voided in July: ‘It takes a lot to get a contract voided’
The news that Brandon Aiyuk has likely played his last game for the San Francisco 49ers was a surprise on Friday, but the situation has apparently been simmering for months.Speaking to reporters on Saturday, Niners head coach Kyle Shanahan declined to say what specifically led to a falling out between team and player — there was a report of frustrations over Aiyuk failing to participate in team meetings and other activities — while claiming the contract battle was out of his hands:"I'm not going to get into the specifics of that. There were a number of things from July that, to me, is more of the business side, dealing with lawyers and stuff, and contracts. Stuff that is really not my area of expertise."Aiyuk has spent all season on the physically unable to perform list with a knee injury, which […]
