It was just for the Champions League“>SIG Strasbourg but the essential is assured: the qualification for the top 16 of the Champions League (BCL). At 1.8 seconds from the end, David DiLeo had three free throws while his team was at -2 (78-80). But the former Central Michigan player missed two. Result, the Alsatians finished at +1.
After making the gap in the second quarter (22-35), Lassi Tuovi’s players suffered to such an extent that they went to -10 (54-44) at the start of the last minute of the third quarter. But they finished the period better and Jarell Eddie (19 points at 6/14 at 3 points) concluded by scoring his fifth prize-winning basket, to come back to -6 (59-53). Relaunched, the SIGmen quickly recovered through a DeAndre Lansdowne in legs (10 points and 5 rebounds) and a John Roberson (16 points 5/8 on shots in 28 minutes) found to take the lead on the end. So before DiLeo’s failures.
