ULM loses game; Gibbs?
ratiopharm Ulm dropped an 86-79 decision to hardworking Chemnitz 99ers, but the loss of this preseason game is no concern to Ulm. The possible loss of powerforward Jeff Gibbs is. During the fourth quarter of the third consecutive game day of Fritz & Macziol Cup action at Sportszentrum Kuhberg, Ulm's biggest fears flashed in front of them as Gibbs lay flat on the floor in the lane. Helped off the floor by teammates, Gibbs will have his left knee examined by Ulm medical staff Monday morning.
Ulm's Jeff Gibbs attacks the rim!
Gibbs left the game with a knee injury and will be examined Monday morning by Ulm medical staff.
Fueled by active pressing and changing defenses, ratiopharm Ulm raced to an early lead which exteneded to 15 points in the second quarter. New additions Austen Rowland and Bryan Lucas enjoyed excellent first half performances to spark Ulm. A late Chemnitz run cut the lead to 46-41 at the half and set the stage for the Niners second half charge. The 99ers jumped to a 19-9 third as Ulm sleepwalked through the first 5 minutes of second half action allowing the guests to getback into the game. Solid second half three point shooting from Chemnitz helped build momentum. Ulm bench players fired back to level the game. Gibbs' injury occured in the fourth quarter after an array of missed Ulm layups resulted in relentless offensive rebounding --- a Chemnitz big man fell awkwardly on Jeff's knee in the melee for the loose ball. Trailing 80-77, Ulm's Jonathan Levy rimmed out a quality 3 point look and Chemnitz finished their win with quality free throw shooting. Austen Rowland led Ulm's attack with a 26 point, 6 assist 4 rebound effort which included 4 of 6 from three. Bryan Lucas also was sharp adding 16 points and a team best 7 boards. Emeka Erege scored 10 points with 6 rebounds. Ulm outrebounded the Niners 39-31 and grabbed an impressive 23 offensive rebounds in the game. Hardworking Carl Mbassa topscored for the 99ers with 17 points and Oliver Braun added 15 points. Backcourt starters Jaivon Harris (13 points) and David Doubley (11 points) also played well for the 99ers.
