Home game day for BBU Salzburg! On Saturday, all teams will fight for important victories at home in order to reach the season's goal. The women face UBSC-DBBC Graz at 15:30, the men play against the Upper Austrian Ballers at 18:30.

Home game day for BBU Salzburg! On Saturday, all Falken basketball teams are in action at home and want to make the hall in Alpenstraße invincible. After the junior team at 12 noon, the women will face UBSC-DBBC Graz at 3:30 pm. The Styrians are currently in third place in the second national league and would be a potential rival in the Final Four. That's where the Salzburg side want to be, but they urgently need another successful result: after six games, they have just two wins to their name.

"It will be a difficult game. Our team is complete and is training very well. A win would be a good reward," said coach Jesús Díaz Del Rio Foces.

The BBU men will then host the Upper Austrian Ballers at 18:30. After three defeats in a row, Christian Ponz's team urgently needs a full win again if it is not to completely lose sight of its goal of the upper play-offs. "The Ballers are a young, aggressive team that shouldn't be underestimated. If we control the tempo of the game and don't make any unnecessary mistakes, I'm sure we'll win the game," says Luka Kamber.
