Behind Bourges, now guaranteed to finish in first place in the regular season, the fight rages between a quartet for second place in LFB. If Charleville-Mézières will receive Angers next Friday, Lyon, Basket Landes and Villeneuve d’Ascq all won on Saturday.
ASVEL, Villeneuve d’Ascq and Basket Landes keep pace
Facing the red lantern Charnay, ASVEL recovered their heads with a health walk against the red lantern (80-40). With seven players to seven or more, as well as 29 assists, the collective of Pierre Vincent has been running at full speed. On the road, the EBSVA and the Landaises did not experience too many difficulties either: Caroline Heriaud’s teammates (10 points, 4 rebounds and 12 assists) won at Landerneau (70-53) while the champions of France ensured the blow to La Roche (93-74). Regan Magarity had 16 points at 7/9, 6 rebounds and 3 assists.
Olivia Epoupa carries the BLMA to the Top 8
Finally, in a crucial match for eighth place, which will separate the fates between the playoffs and the playdowns, Lattes-Montpellier carried out the excellent operation of the evening. After a bad start against Saint-Amand (3-13, 7th minute), the BLMA whipped to gradually return, to the energy, with the impact of Olivia Epoupa (15 points at 7/11, 10 rebounds and 5 interceptions) and Ana Dabovic (16 points at 5/7 and 4 rebounds).
