EWE Baskets Oldenburg on course for victory: Off to overcome the Rostock waves!
The EWE Baskets Oldenburg basketball team has the chance to get their first away win of the season next November 1st. This important duel will take place against the ROSTOCK SEAWOLVES at 8 p.m. The Oldenburgers' current form is promising, as they have already achieved two consecutive victories: First, they beat the Fitness First Würzburg Baskets with 61:60 and then swept the VET-CONCEPT Gladiators Trier off the field with 108:85. Coach Predrag Krunic sees his team on the right track, but cannot rely on Dakarai Tucker and Kyle Lofton, who are injured.
The ROSTOCK SEAWOLVES fought their way into the easyCredit BBL last season and subsequently qualified for the play-ins for the first time, but failed at the EWE Baskets Oldenburg. They are currently also taking part in the FIBA Europe Cup, where they have a record of 2:1 wins. Coach Dragan Dojkić's team has some challenges to overcome in the league after they were eliminated in the BBL Cup in the round of 16 against Science City Jena.
Strong players on both sides
A look at the statistics shows that D'Shawn Schwartz is the SEAWOLVES' top scorer, averaging 16.3 points per game and an impressive three-point percentage of 44.4%. Other key players include TJ Crockett Jr., DeAndre Lansdowne and Lukasz Kolenda, who also contribute to the team's offensive strength. The SEAWOLVES are missing two important players, Robin Amaize and Dominic Lockhart, while the newly signed Kassim Nicholson already scored 12.5 points per game in the FIBA Europe Cup, but has not yet played in the BBL.
Meanwhile, Oldenburg has also shown some impressive individual performances in recent games. Particularly outstanding was Chris Clemons, who recently scored an incredible 52 points against the Römerstrom Gladiators Trier. This performance is perceived as one of the league's historically best since no player has scored that many points in a game since 1993. His team started the season slowly with an 0-4 record, but now things seem to have broken.
A look into the future
Ralph Hounnou, a teammate of Clemons, expressed optimism about the team's ability to carry the positive waves of recent games into the upcoming game against Rostock. After the impressive performance against Trier, the entire team believes in the possibility of triumphing in the next game. With the anticipation of the duel on November 1st, the pressure on the EWE Baskets is noticeable to build on their success and move away from the places in the table. It remains to be seen whether they can take advantage of this opportunity.
