Uni Baskets fight to stay in the league: spectacle against Bayreuth!

On Boxing Day, December 25th, 2025, the Uni Baskets Münster will find themselves in an important duel against BBC Bayreuth, which will kick off at 7:00 p.m. in the Oberfrankenhalle. Both teams are in a relegation battle BARMER 2nd Basketball Bundesliga ProA. The exciting match promises not only thrilling basketball, but also an uninhibited get-together for the fans, because the “Sheep” opens for – and of course the best part – free public viewing from 6:30 p.m.

The Uni Baskets are traveling with a more positive feeling after winning their last game against the SBB Baskets 77:67. Head coach Götz Rohdewald emphasizes the importance of this last game and emphasizes that the team wants to carry on the momentum. In order to be well prepared, the team trained intensively on Monday and Tuesday before the game, with the final training taking place on Friday evening in Bayreuth.

The opponent: BBC Bayreuth

The situation at BBC Bayreuth, however, is tense. After a defeat against the Tigers Tübingen, head coach Florian Wedell was released. Interim sporting responsibility now lies with Lukas Hofer and Nils Scheller. Bayreuth has lost its last three games and brings a balanced record of 4:10 into this game. The team has particular problems on defense, as they allow an average of over 89 points per game. Nevertheless, they put together a remarkable performance on offense, with the seventh-best offensive line in the league.

The recently signed Willem Brandwijk, who averaged 10.3 points and 7 rebounds in his first three games for Bayreuth, provides a breath of fresh air. Also excellent is Moritz Plescher, Bayreuth's top scorer, who has the most three-pointers in the league with 110 and scores an average of 12.5 points.

A look at the statistics

Statistically speaking, the Uni Baskets can rely on their rebound performance. With 38.7 rebounds per game, they rank fourth in the league, while Bayreuth is almost in the top three with 38.9 rebounds. It remains to be seen how this competition will play out on Saturday at 7 p.m.
