The season's final spurt will be exciting: The basketball players of TSV Weilheim are tied with three other teams in the table cellar of the 2nd Regionalliga Süd.
Weilheim - The worry lines at Benedikt Schiebilski, the coach of the Weilheim basketball players, are getting bigger. At TV Augsburg, his team suffered their third loss in a row. The Weilheimers are now tied with three other teams at the bottom of the 2nd regional league. "This will give us an exciting sprint to the end of the season," said Schiebilski after the 85:93 (39:52) defeat in Augsburg. The recent bankruptcy was particularly painful because the Weilheimers missed the chance to distance themselves from a direct competitor in the relegation battle.

"We missed the first half," said Schiebilski said the main reason for the defeat against the Swabians, who clearly defeated them 94:76 in the first leg. Back then, the TSV men were also better positioned. Andreas Brem and Sebastian Jungwirth, who scored 21 points in the first comparison, were missing, as were Johnny Millwood and Sebastian Niederreiter. For this, oldie Florian Willkomm made his comeback, which proved to be very valuable with 14 points.

The Weilheimers came out of the starting blocks in Augsburg with great difficulty. "We defended poorly and were too far away from the opponents," Annoyed Schiebilski. As a result, his group was lagging behind at 15:29 after ten minutes. In the second quarter, the guests arranged the game evenly and kept the gap until the change.
In the second half, the Weilheimers, above all Alex and Andreas Thumser, tried to reduce the gap further. Due to the small squad with only seven men, the TSV men wore out. The Augsburgers, who had twelve players at their disposal, thus defended their lead, which had shrunk to six points before the final round, ultimately up to the siren.
Statistics: TSV Weilheim players: Alex Thumser (27 points / 2 threes), Andy Thumser (19/5), Florian Willkomm (14), Raphael Sedlmayr (13), Philipp Brenner (7/2), Alex Brem (5), Matthias Modrok (6).

Weilheim keeps Milbertshofen at a distance - In the 2nd Regionalliga Süd the classification is closer than ever before. The relegation battle begins from third place. It was all the more important for the TSV Weilheim basketball team to take home victory against the previously tied MIL Baskets Milbertshofen.
Disappointment after the trophy-out is limited - For many teams, the trophy is a minor matter, such as for the TSV Weilheim basketball team. Therefore, the home game against the league rival TSV Unterhaching was only of minor importance.
Ascent cheers in Weilheim - the basketball players are not yet champions of the district league, but they have every reason to celebrate.
