Racing takes last play-off-place!

Racing Luxembourg is the 6th team that will compete in the play-offs next to the Musel Pikes, Basket Esch, T71, Etzella and Heffingen.

On Sunday, Racing was able to beat Arantia. At the same time, Sparta won its game in Ettelbruck but that was not enough to make the play-offs. Arantia had a chance to make the play-offs with a win, but the team had a bad night and was not able to compete with Racing on Sunday. Because Heffingen won against Esch, Racing would not even have needed to win by 10 points which, of course, they did not know during the game (or at least during late in the game).

In the end, it is a 3-team-tie between Sparta, Racing and Arantia with the following standings:
1. Racing 7 points
2. Sparta 6 points
3. Arantia 5 points
