National 3: the decisive meeting of Issoire against Avignon
NF3 (14th day)
US Issoire – Avignon SBB. This Sunday (3:30 p.m.), Fernand-Counil gymnasium.
The USI is in good shape. Not far against Bourg (54-61), Laurent Bourrasset’s players picked up their second away success at Pontcharra last Sunday (50-58). With the point average in addition. “It was to leave or double”, recalls the coach of Issoiriennes now 2 wins from Lyon, the first not to be relegated. And who, despite the absence of Decloux and Baez (sprain), wants to “achieve the same performance as the first leg (38-50) and put Avignon behind this Sunday. It could be the turning point of the season.”
Calf CRAP – US Beaumont. This Sunday (3:30 p.m.). The USB (4th) remains on a series of 4 consecutive successes before its delicate trip from the Loire to Veauche (3rd), winner in the first leg (52-65) and who shares the same record (9v-4d).
NM3 (15th day)
Sporting Star Prissé Mâcon – Clermont Basket. This Saturday evening (8 p.m.).
Defeated a week ago by Poligny (68-83) in Granouillet, the Cébistes (6th) would like to reproduce their success of the first leg (72-66) in Prissé Mâcon, this Saturday evening, an eighth (7v-7d) which has the best defense in the pool (69.7 points conceded).
