Toulouse. The TBC ends its season in Boulogne-sur-Mer
The Toulousans, who have given up since Tuesday evening on the play-offs, will try to end the championship on a positive note.
> The essential
Eliminated from the race for the play-offs, for which it can no longer qualify even in the event of a victory, the TBC is going to seek in Pas-de-Calais the last victory of an up and down season.
> Boulogne-sur-Mer
The club from the Pas-de-Calais sub-prefecture is currently the leader of group B and wants to remain so to play an 8th final more within its reach (the 1st of group B will face the 8th of group 4) than if it was overtaken by Vitré and (or) Cergy-Pontoise, with whom he is tied on points, who could beat him if the TBC confirmed their big victory in the first leg (101-60). Victory remained across the throats of the American Wendell Davis and the experienced Mickaël Var who intended to take such a dazzling revenge.
> The regrets of the TBC
“Fortunately for the teams qualified for the play-offs that Toulouse is not because with performances like tonight they are able to beat any team in the division.” Nicolas Faure, the Besançon coach, was full of praise for the game of Stéphane Dao’s men after their victory (106-82) on Tuesday over his team. The former Dijon boss, winner of the 2004 Week of Aces and FIBA Europe Cup runner-up that year, was impressed with the play of Carl Ponsar, TBC’s newest signing and 3-point address by Fabien Bondron, Adrien Thimon, Carl Ponsar and Alexandre Aygalenq (16 out of 29, or 55% success, for the quartet on Tuesday). This same address at 3 points (15 out of 22, or 68% success, for Alexandre Aygalenq, Victor Mopsus and Adrien Thimon) who had unbolted the Boulonnais in the first leg.
Repeating the performance tonight would heighten Toulouse’s regrets that Fayçal Sahraoui, honored on Tuesday before the in-between, will leave at the end of the season.
