Worth to mention a great performance of point guard Jordan Mueller (185-2006) who helped to win the game recording 20 points and 6 assists and Danish forward Frederik Erichsen (206-2006) who added 16 points and 8 assists during the contest. Four OrangeAcademy players scored in double figures. At the losing side Estonian point guard Jorke Aav (184-2005) responded with a double-double by scoring 17 points and 11 assists and center Finn Doentgens (210-2004) scored 14 points. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. OrangeAcad. moved-up to fifth place, which they share with 9 other teams including defeated Ehingen. OrangeAcad. will meet at home Wuerzburg Ak. (#14) in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Ehingen will play against Ahorn Camp (#13) in Speyer and hope to secure a win.
