Béarnese basketball players are up against the wall. After 11 defeats in a row and 17th place in the Jeep Elite ranking, they no longer have much choice and must try to make a move this Saturday evening facing Nanterre (12th) which remains on a remarkable performance at Lyon-Villeurbanne, despite a defeat (96-92 after extra time).
The Elan Béarnais is warned, these Nanterriens are not giving up and are in the process of increasing in power, especially offensively. “It’s not gonna be easy at all“, recognizes Eric Bartecheky, for his second match since his return to the bench of Pau Lacq Orthez. The expected electroshock did not take place last Saturday, the club conceded a new defeat against Roanne (60-81), and remains relegated.
Two injured, one departure …
Especially since the Béarnais coach will not be spoiled for choice among his squad. The American leader Tony Wroten, who failed to win at Pau, left this week, just a month after his arrival.
While waiting for the arrival of a medical joker, before the return of injury of Justin Bibbins, hoped for mid-April, it will be necessary to compose without American leader this Saturday evening. Éric Bartecheky is counting on Remi Lesca and the young Gerald ayayi to ensure at position 1, that of leader.

Inside too, it will be necessary to do without the pivot Ousmane Dramé, absent from the floor of the Palais des Sports de Pau, this Saturday evening, after a knee injury.
Élan Béarnais / Nanterre, it’s to be experienced this Saturday evening in full on France Bleu Béarn Bigorre, from 7 p.m. … not to mention Castres / Section Paloise, in Rugby Top 14, also to be experienced from 5.30 p.m.!
