The Oberhachinger Tropics lost 78-75 to Porsche BBA Ludwigsburg in a Second Basketball Bundesliga ProB match on October 5, 2026, after conceding a late distance shot in the final seconds at the Rundsporthalle Ludwigsburg.
Roster Shortages Shape Trip to Ludwigsburg
The Oberbayern side travelled with just eight players. Head coach Mario Matic missed the services of the injured David Galusic alongside several dual-license players who competed in the Regionalliga over the same weekend. Facing a youthful Ludwigsburg squad averaging under 19 years of age, the visiting rotation faced immediate depth challenges in Swabia.
Early Physical Play Gives Visitors Control
Despite the limited bench, the Gleißental team faced a physical tone in the opening frame. Nedzad Muratovic drove the offense, but Ludwigsburg established control with a 19-13 lead by the end of the first quarter. Ludwigsburg later pushed ahead 37-26 before Muratovic sparked a late-half response to cut the deficit to 35-41 at halftime.
Third Quarter Turnaround Sparks Lead
The Tropics flipped the momentum after the interval through collective defensive pressure and efficient execution. Max May elevated his production alongside the tireless Muratovic during a decisive third quarter that put Oberhaching ahead 60-51. Captain Bode extended the advantage to 62-51 at the start of the final period with a close-range basket, leaving the visitors in control before foul trouble mounted.
Ludwigsburg Uses Depth to Overcome Oberhaching
May picked up his fourth foul early in the half and eventually fouled out in the closing minutes, shortening Oberhaching’s already thin rotation. Ludwigsburg capitalized on the fatigue as Tschouaffe, Riedel, and Youdom—who finished with 18 points and 9 rebounds—resumed their perimeter accuracy. Youdom trimmed the margin to 68-65, and though newcomer Aminu Abibu hit a three-pointer to make it 73-69, the hosts used their 12-man rotation to secure fresh legs for the finish.
Decisive Final Seconds Seal the Defeat
With seconds remaining on the clock, Danziger sank a difficult three-pointer to hand the Tropics a 78-75 defeat. Matic pointed to the late-game rebounding disparity after the final buzzer. “Congratulations to Ludwigsburg, who wore us down with 17 offensive rebounds alone, especially in the final quarter,” Matic said, noting that his team committed 20 turnovers while failing to curb defensive breakdowns.
