The Dijon residents return to Dijon at night
At the end of the game, the Dijonnais will return to the Cité des Ducs by bus (used by the Espoirs on the way out), after having gone up to Sarthe this Friday by train. A journey where the delegation experienced a departure delayed by an hour and a half at Dijon station. The Côte-d’Oriens arrived at Le Mans at 9 p.m. Friday evening.
A fact which adds fatigue to a group which travels constantly. Next Sunday, for the meeting in Monaco (4:30 p.m.), the Burgundians will take a plane from Paris to reach the Côte-d’Azur.
Short defeat for the Espoirs
This Saturday, the JDA Dijon Espoirs experienced their second defeat of the season (4 victories) against their counterparts from Le Mans (2nd), still undefeated with Bourg (80-77). Élise Prodhomme’s protégés, caught in the last quarter (19-13), occupy 5th place in the ranking.
The Dijon markers: Yonzima 2, Rieber 9, Azoughagh 12, Balanca 12, Muamba 20, Zamatta 8, Meite 6, Noto la Diega 6, Dadeke 2.
Le Mans on an upward slope?
Beaten at Asvel (85-71) then surprised in Antarès by Saint-Quentin (69-83), Le Mans has since recovered well (3 v., 3 d., 9th in the ranking). The Sarthois had a series of successes in Strasbourg (88-95), then in front of Nanterre (94-87) and Le Portel (77-74), only experiencing one defeat in Elite, in Limoges (92-90), since the start october.
In Europe, the Dijonnais are in the green
In search of balance in the championship (2 v., 3 l.), the Dijonnais have clearly returned to the match for first place in the Fiba Europe Cup. If they had a scare in Kosovo, during their short success at Trepça this Wednesday evening (84-89), the Côte-d’Oriens saw the Germans from Ludwigsburg fall to the Caledonia Gladiators (73-71). The two teams now have the same record (3 v., 1 l.), the Dijonnais being able to regain first place in Ludwigsburg on the last day and the return match at the Palais des Sports (80-77 defeat in the first leg) .
Before that, Laurent Legname’s players will have to negotiate the reception of the Caledonia Gladiators this Wednesday (8 p.m., Palais des Sports), the Scots whom they had mastered in Glasgow (54-90), in mid-October.
The entire Dijonnais
For their part, the Dijonnais are complete. The two teams are also back on the Antares floor for the warm-up.
William Narace is absent
The strong winger from Le Mans, William Narace (27 years old, 2.02 m) is absent for this meeting. The Cameroonian is serving a three-match suspension imposed by the National Basketball League (LNB) for unsporting behavior.
Gavin Ware needs to get his act together

In difficulty since the start of the season, American pivot Gavin Ware (31 years old, 2.06 m) is struggling defensively. Regularly blocked by mistakes, the interior has not yet shown its full potential since his return to the JDA this summer. “My teammates keep telling me “keep going, don’t give up”, everyone tells me “we need the real Gavin Ware””, explained the number 20 from Dijon in our columns.
“I have to understand that I am massive and that when I use my hands, unlike a fullback, the foul will always be called against me. I have to know how to make intelligent mistakes, when necessary, but also how not to make them, by using my feet when the opposing player starts. But it’s mainly linked to my concentration. »
Le Mans, a real physical challenge
Defensive rigor and impact in their painting, the Dijonnais will need it to hope to achieve a result at Le Mans. The Sarthois, who have athletic players, are the second best team in offensive rebounds (14.3 shots per game).
A state of mind still not up to par
If he has been repeating it to his flock since the start of the season, Laurent Legname has, for the moment, not yet been listened to. The coach is demanding from his team a combative state of mind and much more defensive intensity than displayed until now. “We can’t continue defending so poorly. Against Trepça, we saw it again. There are good passages, we leave them at 7 points at the start in 6’30 and then we take 21 points in 3′. There are unacceptable things defensively,” repeated Laurent Legname before this meeting.
“Is this irremediable? I don’t hope so. The players must do violence to each other. We are always beaten one on one, on offensive rebounds. »

Getting back up after La Rochelle
Yet (largely) favorite last weekend during the reception of La Rochelle, JDA Dijon remains on a setback in Elite. Facing the promoted team, at the Palais des Sports, Laurent Legname’s players stuttered their basketball (88-95).
A defeat which was not foreseen on the Dijon schedule and which greatly displeased the Var technician. “In any sport, it starts with commitment, we had it for 25 minutes against Paris, almost the entire match in Bourg, and this evening we didn’t have it, we have to respect the basics, and respect the “opponent”, he declared after the game.
