Dillingen Diamonds vs. VIMODROM Baskets Jena: Preview of the Final Game of the Regular Season
The Situation
It’s the final game of the regular season for our VIMODROM Baskets Jena, and in women’s basketball, only one thing matters: a win. Currently in third place in the standings, our team is traveling across the country to successfully complete this mission and bring the points home. Their form over the past few weeks has been clearly on the rise—and the team heads into this matchup riding a proud six-game winning streak. With a seventh straight win, they aim to solidify their strong third-place standing at the end of the regular season before the playoffs kick off.
Against the tenth-place team from Dillingen, our team has the nominal advantage, but it’s precisely these kinds of games that often carry the risk of underestimating the opponent. Focus on defense and our deadly fast-break offense will be the key to success.
Our top scorers of the season:
- Robertson: 20.1 PPG (points per game)
- Miscenko: 17.9 PPG
- Gloster: 14.8 PPG
Roster Update: Who’s out, who’s in?
The coaching staff has nearly a full roster to choose from for this important game. The only downside: Point guard Alicia Rosanke remains sidelined.
- Injured: Alicia Rosanke
- Roster: Otherwise, all players are available!
Despite this absence, our deep rotation ensures maximum flexibility. Whether it’s inside play in the zone or aggressive perimeter defense—we have the right matchups ready.
Focus on the Opponent
The Dillingen Diamonds currently sit in 10th place in the standings with four wins this season. Even though the standings look clear-cut on paper, the hosts have already proven in their beloved Sporthalle West that they can upset the favorites (including a strong 66–64 home win against the Eisvögel USC Freiburg).
The Dillingen team relies on a strong offensive trio that we absolutely must keep in check:
- Platte-Behnke: 14.9 PPG – The Diamonds’ offensive engine.
- Perea: 13.4 PPG – A strong presence on the court.
- Hayes: 10.1 PPG – A dangerous threat from the perimeter.
