Basketball Cup
Graz FlinkStones are narrowly defeated in the final
Despite home advantage: both Graz basketball clubs had to concede the Cup trophy to their opponents at the Raiffeisen Sportpark. FlinkStones were narrowly defeated in the wheelchair final, UBI ladies lost clearly.
Wheelchair basketball players, the top teams from the women's and men's national leagues - all showed their skills at the end of the Final Four tournament at the Sportpark. Against a backdrop that many were probably experiencing for the first time. Light show, dance performances, mascots. The more than 1500 fans - around 5000 spectators were attracted over the entire event weekend - were treated to a spectacle on the final day.
In the end, however, there was no Styrian title win. Klosterneuburg celebrated the title in the men's final (62:60 against Wels), the wheelchair basketball final (65:63 against FlinkStones Graz) and the women's final against UBI Graz! A historic triple!
Results of the "Final Four"
Wheelchair final:
Graz FlinkStones - Klosterneuburg Sitting Bulls 63:65
Women's final:
UBI Graz - Klosterneuburg Duchess 52:64
Men's final:
Flyers Wels - Klosterneuburg Dukes 60:62
"But we can't blame ourselves for much," said UBI coach Tanja Kuzmanovic after the 52:64 win. "Except the scoring. 52 points scored, that doesn't suit us at all." Was it nerves in front of the crowd - or Klosterneuburg's "bought-in" players Allesch and Koizar, who joined the team for the final tournament? "Allesch was outstanding," admitted Kuzmanovic. Despite losing their sixth Cup final, UBI are not giving up. "We know we can beat them." UBI is ahead in the league.
