Regionalliga Round 6 of Regular Season

Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.

Second defeat of league's leader Recklinghausen (4-2) against ninth ranked Hagen-Haspe (3-3) 77-64 was the most important game of the last round. 26 personal fouls committed by Recklinghausen helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a good game for American swingman Ricardo Artis II (198-1993, college: Wiley) who led his team to a victory with a double-double by scoring 23 points and 12 rebounds. Dutch point guard Sven Cikara (188-2001, agency: One Motive Sports) contributed with 26 points and 4 assists for the winners. Slovenian power forward Tine Kotnik (205-2000) replied with a double-double by scoring 22 points and 10 rebounds for Recklinghausen. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Hagen-Haspe moved-up to fifth place in West, which they share with 6 other teams. Recklinghausen at the other side dropped to the second position with two games lost. They share it with Wulfen and Loewen. They were replaced at the leadership position by ETB Miners. Recklinghausen will play next round against Hamm trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Hagen-Haspe will try to continue on its current victory against tenth ranked Ibbenbueren on the road.
The game had a very big importance for second-ranked Aschersleben as it allowed them to take a leadership position in North. Aschersleben smashed 9th ranked WSG Koenigs at home 86-63. American forward DaJuan Moorer (206, college: Lander) had a double-double by scoring 17 points and 19 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners and Yannick Von Hain chipped in 19 points and 8 rebounds during the contest. The best for the losing side was American Andrew Jones (191-1983, college: Miles) with 13 points and 6 rebounds. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Undefeated Aschersleben (5-0) have an impressive five-game winning streak. As mentioned above they are at the top of the standings, which they share with Neustadt TSV. WSG Koenigs lost third consecutive game. They keep the ninth place with four games lost. They share the position with Oldenburger TB and Potsdam RH. WSG Koenigs will play next round against Rendsburg trying to get back on the winning streak. Aschersleben will try to continue on its current victory against second ranked Neustadt TSV on the road.
Undefeated Bamberg (0-1) recorded its first loss on the court of fifth ranked Aschaffenburg on Saturday night. Visitors were defeated by Aschaffenburg 69-63.

Even a double-double of 25 points and 12 rebounds by the former international Johannes Lischka (203-1987, agency: LUMANI 10.7) did not help to save the game for Licher Basket. Power forward Yannik Ribbecke (197-1997) added 13 points and 10 rebounds. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players and allowed the starting five to rest.
