Ulm Team News
Ulm is one step away from making a first-class sensation in the quarterfinals of the Bundesliga. They lead 2-1 against the favored Alba, and one win separates them from going through. They achieved both triumphs in Berlin, while they suffered a defeat at home in game number two.
Young coach Anton Gavel has done great with this group of players. As the season progressed, Ulm played better and better. This was best seen in the quarterfinals of the Eurocup when they had Turk Telekom “on the ropes” in Ankara. They did not manage to eliminate them. However, they continued to work and could now “collect” it all. The Brazilian tandem of Yago dos Santos-Bruno Caboclo works excellently, and Thomas Klepeisz finally shined after a month of weak releases. The Austrian scored 19 points in game number three and was one of the most responsible for Ulm’s second break in this series.
Many thought Ulm would go down after losing the second match of this series, but that didn’t happen. They returned to Berlin and achieved victory, and now they can finish everything on their home ground. The key will be for them to be up to par defensively and not allow the opponent to “break free”.

Alba Berlin Team News
The three-time consecutive champion of Germany is one step away from elimination. They had a horrible season in the Euroleague, where only Asvel had more defeats than them, and they did not make a name for themselves in the German Cup either, as Bayern kicked them out in the semi-finals. Changes are inevitable if they are eliminated from Ulm at the start of the Bundesliga playoffs.
Many expected Berlin’s Alba to make a breakthrough this season. Last summer, they kept almost all the players and the coach. The only replacement was in the wing center position. Instead of Oscar da Silva, the talented Gabriele Procida arrived, who, after all, with four three-pointers, was the key man for the victory of “Albatross” in Ulm seven days ago. Alba is often left without real solutions in attack, and they take too much shots. The flow of the ball is not like in the time of Aito García Reneses, and as time passes, so does the team’s form.
As already stated, this match will be “all or nothing” for Alba. Elimination from Ulm would almost certainly mean a change on the coaching bench in the summer. The impression is that they do not function well as a group, but they will have the opportunity to deny that if they triumph again on Ulm’s field.
Eins zu Zwei.
