Seawolves start home game series: duel against Heidelberg awaits!
On Sunday, October 12, 2025, an exciting chapter in this year's basketball season begins for the Rostock Seawolves. After three consecutive away games, the team returns to its home town hall to play against MLP Academics Heidelberg in the first of four home games in a row. Tip-off is scheduled for 3 p.m., with doors opening at 1:30 p.m. Over 4,000 spectators are expected to loudly support their team.
The starting position couldn't be more exciting. Both teams are still without a win in the easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga and are eager to celebrate their first success. The Seawolves have so far lost two close away games against Trier and Ulm, while Heidelberg suffered four defeats in a row, including one in the Basketball Champions League against Promitheas Patras.
A duel of motivations
The anticipation for the game can also be felt among the coaches. Coach Przemyslaw Frasunkiewicz from the Seawolves emphasizes that his team's motivation is high and they definitely want to achieve their first win of the season. “Both teams are motivated to celebrate their first win of the season,” said Frasunkiewicz, who hopes that the audience in the Wolfshöhle will give them a boost. The game will be presented by OstseeSparkasse Rostock and broadcast live on DYN from 2:45 p.m.
The Academics from Heidelberg, on the other hand, have retained almost all of their squad from last season and improved them in certain areas. They play a slightly different style of basketball, which adds to the challenge for the Seawolves. The Heidelberg team also showed high intensity against teams like Jena and Chemnitz, not only in the league but also against international opponents.
Looking at the challenges ahead
This is just the start of an intense week for the Seawolves. After the duel against Heidelberg, the game in the Europe Cup against Tartu Ülikooli Korvpallimeeskond from Estonia follows on Tuesday. And the following Sunday the round of 16 in the BBL Cup against Jena awaits them. So the pressure is high and the players know that they have to give everything now.
The enthusiasm of the fans will be crucial on Sunday, as last season the Seawolves often had to rely on the support of their supporters to survive in difficult times. So it remains to be seen whether the Rostock team can win not only the line-up for the game, but also the hearts of their spectators.
In a highly competitive environment, the signs are that this will be a hard-fought and physical game. Kick-off is in a few days and everyone involved is hoping for an exciting encounter. Further information and tickets are available on the Seawolves website. Be there and support your team, because no matter how the game ends, the passion and fun of basketball is what counts.
How the Seawolves will fare in this important phase remains to be seen, but the signs are already pointing to victory - something is on the cards!
