Small miracle this Sunday in Mont-de-Marsan. Basket Landes got away with it against Tarbes on the 12th day of the Women’s League thanks to a shot at the final ringing succeeded by the Swedish interior Regan Magarity (18 points, 7 rebounds) on a service in the racket of Marine Fauthoux. The leader of the Bleues (14 points, 5 assists) had already been decisive at the start of the last minute by equalizing at 64-64 on a three-point shot behind a screen, already, from Magarity.
The match point for Tarbes
The girls of Julie Barennes were however on a very unfavorable tie since Tarbes had the match point in hand a few seconds before but Clémentine Samson lost possession under pressure from Lidija Turcinovic on the sidelines six seconds from the end.
On the throw-in, the system was at the end and allowed the French champions to stay in contact with Bourges the leader, whose weekend match at La Roche-sur-Yon was postponed. Tarbes and Marie Pardon (12 points, 7 rebounds, 11 assists), who had made up for a deficit of ten units in the last quarter, miss a great opportunity to take a little air at the bottom of the classification.
Asvel, for its part, had a much quieter afternoon and outclassed Landerneau in Brittany (95-62) so as not to lose distance with Bourges and Basket Landes.
