  • Center Jure Planinic, playing days after a broken nose, led MBC with 15 points and 8 rebounds and put them ahead 73:71 with an offensive board.
  • Collin Welp iced the result by grabbing the last defensive rebound and sinking two free throws for 75:71.
  • Ulm’s late push fell short when Mark Smith missed a tying layup with five seconds remaining, with top scorer Christopher Ledlum finishing on 19 points.
