BAMBERG COMESBACK IN ULM!
Prior to tip off at Sportszentrum Kuhberg, brose Baskets Bamberg were the only Bundesliga team ratiopharm Ulm had not beaten since returning to the Bundesliga last season. Despite a terrific team effort, Ulm's shorthanded squad came up just short of an upset as Robert Garrett and Darren Fenn pushed the reigning German Champs past ratiopharm Ulm 79-69 Sunday afternoon in Ulm. Leading 50-45 after three quarters, Ulm lost lone point guard Dru Joyce to a 5th foul with over 7 minutes to play and the battle-tested Bamberg team capitalized. Although Ulm's effort was strong, shooting percentages of 40% from the floor and 50% from the foul line were simply not enough to knock off a top team such as Bamberg.
