Bamberg Baskets on a Roll: Seven Wins in a Row and Third Place Ahead of the Ulm Clash

The BMA365 Bamberg Baskets head into the next games against ratiopharm ulm with momentum. After 34 season games, Bamberg stands at 24 wins and 10 losses in the easyCredit Basketball Bundesliga 2025/26, which equals 48 points and third place. On May 16, Ulm comes to the Brose Arena, two days later the next duel follows in Bamberg, and on May 23, it's off to the away game in Ulm.

Current Form

The form curve is striking: Bamberg is unbeaten in seven games and has won nine of the last ten matches.

• 85:71 against Veolia Towers Hamburg
• 99:82 at SYNTAINICS MBC
• 102:83 at home against Telekom Baskets Bonn

Team Options and Top Scorers

The fact that Bamberg is not currently relying on a single card to win games is an important part of their stability. In the 99:82 win in Weißenfels, Austin Crowley was Bamberg's top scorer, against Hamburg Demarcus Demonia scored the most points for his team. Against Bonn, Bamberg secured a clear home win, but the top scorer of the game was Jalen Finch from Bonn. This fits the image of a team that, in this phase, is less dependent on a "hero game" and can generate scoring through multiple options.

Offensive and Defensive Statistics

Why Bamberg currently seems so hard to crack can also be seen in the team stats. Offensively, the team averages 89.9 points per game, defensively they allow 81.7 – a gap that, in a balanced league, is often the difference between "playing at the top" and "just keeping up." The field goal percentage (47.9 percent) is significantly higher than that of their opponents (42.3 percent). Translated into game practice, this means: Bamberg converts its shots more reliably this season – and thus relieves itself of pressure in tight phases, not having to come back through wild runs or especially many second chances.

Plays and Assist Statistics

Also striking is the way Bamberg gets its shots. With 18.5 assists per game, the team is above the opponent's average (16.7). This speaks for functioning processes, clear roles, and good decision-making – factors that count especially in playoff-like weeks when intensity rises and easy points become rarer.

Rebound Deficit

A real warning sign, however, remains the rebound: Bamberg averages 35.3 rebounds, opponents 39.7. This disadvantage can quickly lead to extra possessions and thus scoring runs against physical teams – even if your own shooting percentage is good. The fact that Bamberg has collected 24 wins despite this deficit suggests that efficiency and structure compensate for many rebound issues. Against Ulm, this balancing act will be crucial: Whoever controls the tempo and limits second chances often wins the small, decisive sequences.

Home and Away Record

The record does not look like a pure home run. Bamberg has distributed its 24 wins evenly: 12 home wins and 12 away wins, with five losses each. In total, Bamberg scored 3055 points, 1502 of which were at home. The core of consistency is therefore not tied to a single environment – a plus as soon as series and travel strains play a bigger role.

Outlook on the Ulm Clashes

Around the Ulm games, Bamberg thus moves into a clear test zone: The standings are strong, the streak impressive, but the coming days will show how resilient this form is against a direct competitor. The team of head coach Anton Gavel, supported by Arne Woltmann and Stefan Weissenböck, has worked out an excellent starting position with a win rate of 70.6 percent. The roster includes 13 players with an average age of 25.5 years; the roles are spread over five guards, five forwards, and three centers.

Bamberg goes into the Ulm clashes with results, efficiency, and a clear line. For the Baskets, it is more than just another game on the calendar: It is the chance not only to defend third place, but to confirm their own streak against a top team – and thus send a signal for the decisive phase of the season.
