Stefan Holz, Managing Director of the Basketball Bundesliga (BBL), is more than satisfied with the results so far in the European Cup.

“During the week, our teams have made an excellent impression in the international competitions and impressively confirmed the positive trend,”said Holz.

Apart from Telekom Baskets Bonn, which were defeated in the Champions League by the Czech club CEZ Nymburk (87:89 n. V.), there were only victories. Among other things, champion Brose Bamberg achieved his first success in the new EuroLeague season (80:76) at Unicaja Malaga.

“Seven victories in eight matches, including difficult away-tasks, plus an unfortunate defeat after extra time: this record should give the clubs further impetus for the tasks ahead,”Holz said.

Bayern Munich (EuroCup), medi Bayreuth and the MHP Giant Ludwigsburg (both Champions League) are the leaders of the standings.
