This weekend, the 11th game day is scheduled in the men’s LBBL. While the women’s league is on a short break because the national team is in action, the men continue with the last game day of the first round.
League leader T71 will host Amicale for a finals rematch of the 2021/22 season. Both teams have started the season strong and will now face off in the top game of the week. After advancing to the cup semi-finals, newcomer Gréngewald is looking for its 5th win in the LBBL when they host Etzella. The guests entered the cup semi-finals as well during the week but they also want to show a reaction after losing last week’s top game against T71. US Heffingen is currently at the bottom of the standings, the team recently added 2 new professional players: Gillard and Hansen. At home, the team faces another difficult challenge with opponent Basket Esch. The guests have played well lately and are back at full strength after Pit Biever and Jordan Hicks returned to the team. A big game in the race for the top 8 seeds will be played in Contern where the hosts have a chance to take a 2-point lead over the opponent Sparta. The team from Bertrange has a chance to tie with the opponent in the standings and both team will definitely also look to pay attention to the score at any moment because the direct comparison could become decisive at the end of the regular season. Résidence Walfer is looking to a 2-game losing streak at home against the Musel Pikes while the guests are looking for a 4th win to stay in a decent position in the play-off race. The Musel Pikes announced on Friday that they have added a new professional player in Devonte Patterson. On Sunday, Arantia is looking for its thrid straight win on the road in Zolwer. The hosts have only 1 victory at the moment and sit at the bottom of the standings together with Heffingen.
After this game day, all 11 teams have faced each other once this season and therefore it will be a good moment to draw some conclusions.
