In the aftermath of coach Dirk Bauermann’s firing, Bayern Munich started its season in Beko BBL the worst possible way. The Bavarian team lost at home to Oldenburg 80-61, with only one of its players, Chevon Troutman (photo), scoring in double digits (14 p.). It was a really ugly performance against a balanced team which played like a unit. The game was decided in the second quarter when the partial score was 21-8 in favor of the guests.
The two representatives of Germany in Euroleague, defending champions Brose Baskets and Alba Berlin, got the wins against Bremerhaven (85-68) and Artlant (94-62) respectively. The other games for the 1st gameday in German league are the following: Ludwigsburg – Skyliners 74-56, Bonn – Mitteldeutscher 83-76, Hagen – Giessen 68-73, Braunshweig – Ulm 91-92, Tubingen – Trier 66-77, s.Oliver Baskets – Bayreuth 67-73.
