EWE Baskets recorded a loss on the court of ALBA Berlin. Visitors were rolled over by ALBA Berlin 105-70. Icelandic guard Martin Hermannsson (190-1994, college: LIU Brooklyn) notched a double-double by scoring 20 points and 11 assists (was perfect 9-for-9 from the free throw line !!!) to lead the effort and Trevion Williams supported him with 16 points, 9 rebounds and 6 assists. Even 19 points by American forward Kyle Rode (201-1999, college: Liberty) did not help to save the game for Oldenburg.
