ULM FALLS IN FINALE!
Center court at Sportszentrum Kuhberg was once again a fun spot for fans following ratiopharm Ulm's season finale Saturday night. Despite the 93-79 setback to rival Walter Tigers Tubingen, ratiopharm Ulm team members and fans enjoyed a moment to celebrate their successful season together before officially closing the book on Ulm's first year back in the Bundesliga.

ULM BURNED BY DRAGONS!
ratiopharm Ulm entered Artland Arena dreaming of an upset win which would keep their long-shot playoff hopes alive, but after an exciting first half, hot-shooting Artland turned up the heat in the second half to pull away with a 99-81 win seen live on Premiere TV. Continuing their excellent recent run, which included winning their way into the German Cup Finals last weekend in Hamburg, Head Coach Chris Fleming's Dragons were in fine form as Saturday's win coupled with Sunday's Oldenburg loss clinched a Playoff berth for Artland. Ulm's spirited effort was staggered when All-Star Power Forward fouled out late in the third quarter after a flurry of foul calls. Without Gibbs, who scored 19 points in the first half alone, Austen Rowland (18 points 7 assists 4 of 5 from three) and teammates marched on only to see Artland shoot the lights out. In fact, Artland's Jan Rohdewald (5 for 5), Lamont McIntosh (4 for 5) and Adam Hess (3 for 6) combined to sink 12 of 16 threes to make the difference for the Dragons. Despite the loss, ratiopharm Ulm players left Artland Arena proud of their effort and performance this season. Now 16-17, Ulm caps their first year in the Bundesliga by meeting rival Walter Tigers Tubingen Saturday May 12th for a 7:30pm tip off at Sportszentrum Kuhberg in Ulm.

Like the scary stories from Friday the 13th, ratiopharm Ulm's turnovers and mistakes came back to haunt them late in Friday nights game at Giessen. Inspired by halftime news of Nurnberg's loss and powered by a 17-4 third quarter run, the Giessen 46ers cemented their stay in the Bundesliga for a 41st season with Friday nights 75-69 victory over ratiopharm Ulm. Even though the game was decided late, iced by a clutch Brian Snider last-minute left wing three and two James Head free throws, ratiopharm Ulm's missed opportunities from earlier in the game eventually left the team empty handed at the end --- fitting storyline for a Friday the 13th.

82 76
ULM SLIPS TO 46ERS BY 6!
ratiopharm Ulm's fourth quarter comeback fell just short as the Giessen 46ers presented new head coach Ken Scalibroni with an 82-76 victory, the teams second win of the season on Scalibroni's second official day on the job. Inconsistent Ulm defensive intensity saw the teams trade baskets throughout much of the game and allowed the 46ers to play from the lead for most of the second half. Second quarter and late 3rd/early 4th quarter runs put Ulm in position to extend their winning streak, but it was Giessen who executed and converted on clutch possessions to earn the win. For ratiopharm Ulm, Sunday's loss to Giessen is another lesson for a young team working its way to establish itself in the Bundesliga.
