Excitement five minutes and 43 seconds before the end of the fourth quarter: Würzburg’s Darius Perry defends against Mateo Seric – and hits the Tübingen player in the head during his rescue operation! Seric protests, demanding that Perry be penalized with an unsportsmanlike foul. But the referees only give free throws.
Comment from Dyn commentator Florian von Stackelburg: “It hits him in the head, yes. But for me that’s not automatically an unsportsmanlike foul. Well seen by the referees. It is often the case that a hit to the head is quickly declared an unsportsmanlike foul. But in this case it’s not sustainable for Seric to go out with a concussion.”
Würzburg Baskets beat Tübingen Tigers
Von Stackelberg revealed something surprising before the game: “During the week there were three training accidents at Tübingen and they were all quite strange. Georgios Kalaitzakis broke his finger, and Daniel Keppeler, among others, suffered a sprained finger. The misery of injuries continues. Till Jönke was also out for a long time with back problems and now he broke his nose in training.”
The game was balanced right from the start: the first quarter ended 19:19. At the start of the second quarter, Tübingen went on an 8-0 run and made it 27:19. Jhivvan Jackson has hit all four of his three-point attempts so far. Commentator von Stackelberg celebrates the tiger – with a saying about the Würzburgers: “They must have thought: He made a mess, we’ll be stupid!”
Würzburg coach Sasa Filipovski changes: man coverage for Jackson! Javon Bess is now guarding the shooter closely. Comment from Stackelberg: “It sticks to him like a post-it note!”

Würzburg’s assistant coach Dejan Mihevic said at Dyn’s break: “We did well in the first half and have to continue with our plan. We allowed Jackson shots that we now have to defend better. We didn’t play the defense we planned for him. He’s a very good player, we gave him too much space.”
Tübingen holds the lead and ends the third quarter with 65:62. Things get really exciting again in the final phase. The Würzburgers equalized 33 seconds before the end. 87:87. Both teams get one more throw – and fail! Overtime!
Mega tension: Würzburg is ahead 103:99 with 16 seconds to go. At Tübingen, Jhivvan Jackson (31 points) is out after his 5th foul. The Tigers are coming. 101:103. Eight seconds left. Würzburg converts two free throws. 105:101 — and gets two more free throws with 0.3 seconds left. Both in – end!
