Ulm Thumps MBC 104–81 To Bolster Direct Playoff Bid

The win lifts Ulm to provisional fourth in a fluid BBL table.

Overview

  • Ratiopharm Ulm beat Syntainics MBC Weißenfels 104–81 at home Wednesday before about 5,200 fans, steadying their form after the weekend loss at Heidelberg.
  • Nelson Weidemann and Christian Sengfelder paced Ulm with 19 points each, with Weidemann scoring without a miss.
  • Ulm trailed after the first quarter, then a 13–1 second‑quarter surge flipped the game and set up a runaway second half.
  • The result moved Ulm into fourth place for now and strengthened their push for a direct playoff spot, though Bonn can move back ahead with a game in hand.
  • MBC stayed near the relegation fight despite the setback and still hold a six‑point buffer over a direct drop spot, with Bayern up next at home.
