Crisis meeting in the Easycredit Basketball Bundesliga on Friday evening.
Keller-Kinder Tigers Tübingen welcomes the Rostock Seawolves, who are 13 (!) Lost consecutive games have.
Over! The East Germans humiliated the Tübingen team in their hall with 92:75.
Both clubs had strengthened themselves again shortly before the end of the transfer period. Tübingen brought in the American Frank Gaines (33), who is now in his eleventh year as a professional and is joining the 18th club.

Gaines sank his first throw – a three-pointer. In the end he got eight points.
Opponent Rostock got a big name: Augustine Rubit (34), who has played in the Euroleague in the past. However, he has not played a game since he tore his Achilles tendon while wearing a Bayern Munich jersey in February 2023. And it’s probably still far from being at 100 percent.
Before the game, Dyn commentator Stefan Koch asked Seawolves coach Christian Held: “Augustine isn’t there today. Can you already estimate when his debut can be expected?”
Perplexity at the broadcaster: team cancels half-time interview
Held’s answer is strange: “No, I can’t yet. We’ll find out all of this in the next few days and weeks. Always in close coordination with the doctors and the entire medical department. I’m in good spirits – for now…”

About the game: The referees are already ready for the jump ball, but then have to send the players back to the bench. Reason: a clock problem. The music clock calmly counts down from 77 seconds.
When the game finally starts, Tübingen quickly leads 5:3, after which only Tübingen plays. First a 10-0 run, later even a 12-0 run.
Koch on the Dyn microphone: “This is slowly taking on threatening forms for Tübingen.” The fans see it that way too, they chant “We want to see you fight” in the direction of their team.
Doesn’t help!

Shortly before the end of the first half, Rostock leads 53:35. Hero takes a break. And then another one. The move he calls for the last 9.9 seconds is probably very complicated. Lester Medford doesn’t care – he just dribbles towards the basket and puts the ball in. 55:35 at halftime.
The hosts are angry and even skip the obligatory break-time conversation with Dyn.
Stefan Koch: “We had actually arranged an interview with a player from Tübingen, but they all disappeared into the dressing room. I’m very sorry, but that has to be canceled today.”
In the third quarter, Tübingen only managed 18 points. The “Finally start fighting!” poster, which the home fans apparently quickly painted during the break, doesn’t help either.
Coach Jansson pleads during a time-out: “Please play normally for five minutes!”
Pure excitementThe decision is made at the last throw!

It’s 50:76 after the third section.
In the last ten minutes the picture remains unchanged. Koch: “It’s a tragedy here, at least for the people of Tübingen.”
Rostock runs away to 31 points (92:61). Jansson takes the time out and appeals to his players: “What impression do we want to leave here? We played bullshit for 35 minutes!”
His professionals understood and went on a 14-0 run. He’s coming too late.
Best throwers: Tyler Nelson (21 points) for Rostock, Georgios Kalaitzakis (14 points) for Tübingen.
