Hen High
In high chicken, Cherbourg was keen to remain alone first. Unfortunately for the players of Mohamed Regbaoui, it was Vernon who emerged victorious from the shock of the top ranking (72-62). The Alençonnais received the Union Caen / Hérouville. At the end of an intense match, the Ornais got rid of the Caennais, 83-79. Equeurdreville scores a fifth success against Oissel (65-70), still looking for its first victory in the second phase. The Penguins are therefore delighted Vernon, Cherbourg en Alençon at the top of the championship. In Haute-Normandie, SPO Rouen won against Mesnil Esnard Franqueville, 70-78.
SPN Vernon 72 – 62 Cherbourg BasketBall (15-15, 13-17, 27-15, 17-15)
Mohamed Regbaoui (CBB): » Defeat to Vernon in a match of great intensity. A match where we present two faces, with a first half full of concentration and rigor and a 3ᵉ quarter botched by haste and lack of serenity, against a team that knew how to perfectly take advantage of its moment of euphoria. »

USBD Alençon 61 83 – 79 Union Caen/Hérouville (21-20, 21-18, 20-24, 21-17)
Latifa Rhennam (USBDA): “A very intense match against a very good team from Hérouville which, in my opinion, will outwit other teams with its aggressiveness and intensity. It’s true that this type of team doesn’t suit us at all, but the team knew how to do the job and didn’t flinch at the end of the match with a solid Romain Lavedrine on free throws. Now, with the coverage of the Rouen match, we have 15 days to prepare for the match against Equeurdreville. »
Christophe Marguerite (UCHB): “A lot of frustration for my players who produced a collective performance full of determination and commitment. Against a very solid Alençon team inside, we were in the physical fight for 40 minutes. We had to compensate for our size and weight deficit with aggressiveness and intensity. Our game plan has been respected and victory depends on very little. A few badly negotiated possessions and a very fair free throw percentage got the better of our #defeatedcoach efforts. The copy made is very correct on this match if we have not respected our defensive standards, we will need the same state of mind next week in Vernon. »

Oissel Basket Seine 65 – 70 USTB Equeurdreville (17-25, 20-14, 20-13, 8-18)
Serge Gregorieff (USTBE): “Between the many absentees, a disrupted week of training and a team from Oissel who had just played five consecutive away games, we suspected that we were going to have a complicated Sunday. It was, with a performance marked by some weak times, especially the 3ᵉ quarter which could have cost us dearly. However, we had the ability to not lose anything and also had the good idea to start very well offensively (17/25) and to defend better in the 4th quarter (8 points scored by Oissel). This success allows us to stay in touch but we come back with a few more problems which will make the preparation for the next trip to Franqueville quite chaotic. »

Lower Hen:
In low hen, the ASPTT confirms its good form of the moment by imposing itself largely on the parquet floor of the Pays d’Auge (66-86). Caen Sud has succeeded in getting rid of the Virois trap. Thierry Belin’s men would have tried everything to get back in the game, in vain (75-67). CB Ifs is recovering after its two consecutive defeats by disposing of Stade Saint-Lois (82-65). In the last match, the AJSO overcame Bretteville sur Odon, in a game controlled from start to finish (85-64).
Pays d’Auge Basket 66 – 86 ASPTT Caen 2
Victor Trehet (PAB): “We wanted to continue after two straight wins, but we didn’t have our usual defensive quality. Facing a great team, a little in our profile, I asked the guys to manage the tempo of the match, but we did not succeed. We also didn’t have a lot of skill. Now there are two home games in a row and we will have to win at least one of the two, because with the results in the accession pool for the moment there are three runs, and we are first relegated. »
Brice Boula (ASPTT): “A meeting that we knew was complicated, which was the case. We struggled to get into the match, but we knew how to take our time and not panic. We were able to pull off a good shot outside and the players responded collectively. It’s a great team victory. »

Caen Sud Basket 75 – 67 USM Vire (17-12, 23-12, 20-15, 15-28)
Gregory Cadel (CSB): “It’s a match where you get level with the opponent, at least defensively. We don’t make every effort, we are a bit smug and suddenly we don’t make the task easier and the opponent plays his game as he wishes. The positive point of this match, the victory. Congratulations to Vire who fought until the end. »
Thierry Belin (USMV): “Finally a decent match with the desire for the Virois. We may regret the end of the first half where we cash a 10-0 mainly on ball losses and relegates us to -16 at the break. Otherwise, the rest of the game is satisfying with pace and consistent defense. Despite another defeat, attitudes were encouraged. To be confirmed next weekend in Ifs. »

CB Ifs 82 – 65 Saint Lois Stadium (14-16, 24-13, 25-19, 19-17)
Clement Coulont (SSL): “Serious match on our part but we left with a workforce decimated by health problems. We put up very good resistance against Ifs for the first 15 minutes before showing a physical slack. We are therefore at -9 at half-time. The start of the 3rd quarter is also difficult until we reach a gap between 15 and 20 points until the end. We respected the data recorded throughout the match with the energy we had to give. The return phase begins next Saturday. We are already back to the wall, so we have to stop asking ourselves questions as we did during this meeting. ”

AJS Ouistreham 85 – 64 LC Bretteville sur Odon (24-15, 18-15, 22-13, 21-21)
Miguel Callejas (ASJO): “Match well controlled overall. By refusing a significant gap from the first quarter by relying on our inner strength (53 points over the whole game), we arrive with a 12-point lead at half-time. Taking advantage of the opponent’s clumsiness on the outside after half-time, we penalize the LCBO with counter-attack play and an outside address on the visitors’ defensive choices. Congratulations to the LCBO, which, despite the 21 points of disbursements in the thirtieth minute, never let go, imposing its inner power at the end of the game. Coherent arbitration and in the exchange. »
Maxime Petré (LCBO): “We let the AJSO dominate our racket. Our 3ᵉ quarter-time ename is bad and the address is absent on our side. Logical score, period. It’s up to us to keep working. Congratulations to AJSO. »
