BG Göttingen shocks Karlsruhe: Dominant victory with strong threesomes!

Göttingen remains on the winning road

On October 11, 2025, BG Göttingen conjured up a special kind of basketball experience in the away game against the Post Südstadt Karlsruhe Lions. The Göttingen team sent their opponents home with 97:84 and demonstrated their skills on the field despite the absence of Robin Lodders and Mathis Mönninghoff, both of whom are ill. A strong opening quarter with an 11-0 run put the violets on the winning track early, which gave the team a 31:22 lead in the first quarter.

Jordan Sears was particularly outstanding, becoming BG Göttingen's top scorer with 21 points. Sears, who recently moved from the LSU Tigers to Göttingen and signed his first professional contract, stood out not only for his accuracy, but also for his athleticism and wit, which gave the team a clear advantage. His coach, Fabian Strauss, has already emphasized the importance of having a high-scoring guard available to lead the team to success this season. Sears previously played for the UT Martin Skyhawks, where he scored an impressive 21.6 points per game.

The course of the game

In the second quarter, Göttingen was particularly efficient: with a three-point rate of 70% and eleven second-chance points, they further distanced Karlsruhe. But the opponent did not give up. David Cohn from Karlsruhe ensured that his team didn't fall too far behind with an impressive game of nine converted three-pointers and a total of 31 points. Nevertheless, Göttingen kept its nerve and ended the third quarter with a lead of 75:68.

The final section then became a showcase for Göttingen's strength. Sears hit a key three-pointer that made the game a solid lead at 85-72. Karlsruhe never got closer than eleven points, and although Böhner picked up his fifth foul, it had no impact on the outcome of the game.

Looking into the future

BG Göttingen's squad for the 2025/26 season promises a lot. In addition to Jordan Sears, this also includes players like Julius Böhmer, Kevin Buckingham, Hendrik Drescher and Zach Jackson. Even though Lodders and Mönninghoff are currently missing, the breadth and quality of the squad is promising and gives hope for a successful season.

Not only the current performance of Sears, who is an agile guard at 1.80 m and 84 kg, but also the entire team structure heralds an exciting time for BG Göttingen. The fans can be excited to see what the coming games will bring, especially since the team is currently in a good flow and can show off its skills.

BG Göttingen shows that they can perform well even without some key players and have what it takes to be highly popular as the season progresses. Stay tuned for more exciting developments!
