Austen Rowland glides to the hoop for 2!
Ulm shot 30% from the floor and hit only 1 of 21 three point shots as a team. Both teams were in preseason form: Ulm suffered 5 assists to 21 turnovers while Tubingen ached from 3 assists 24 turnovers. Clearly the defense was ahead of the offense for both teams this preseason. Despite the offensive woes, both teams worked hard and aggressively stymied their opponents. In fact, Tubingen outscored Ulm 10-8 in the 3rd quarter. Tubingen's AJ Moye topscored for the Tigers with a game best 21 points while Igor Perovic was the only other Tiger to reach double figures with 10. Ulm outrebounded Tubingen 41-40 and Jeff Gibbs grabbed a game best 13 boards.
