In one breath. The Pays de Fougères basketball came close, facing Toulousea fourth consecutive success, Friday October 11. But the Toros of the pink city had the last word in overtime (85-87), subjecting Ferns his first defeat at Justy-Specker of the season.
The latest setback Blues Brothers in the league at home went back a year and a half, during the 2022-2023 season in Nationale 2.
Obviously disappointed because it remains a defeat at home. We must give Toulouse what belongs to them, they had a great match. They are on four victories in a row and have the wind in their sails. Despite this, we did not have a bad match. We can regret our start where we lacked rhythm.
Praising the public support of Justy-Speckerthe Fougères coach appreciated the reaction of his players. “At -17 points at any given moment, the positive point is that we find the resources at all levels to come back. We shouldn’t be far from winning despite everything. It could very well have gone either way. They were also mentally strong in money time. And for us, I think the extension is too much. We have to win and kill the match first.”
The promoted Fougères will play its third consecutive match at home, Friday October 18 (8:30 p.m.). This will be his second Breton derby against Quimper.
“We almost have to have a perfect match”
The Finistère leader displays five successes for a single setback and has just dominated Glazed (65-54).
“We have to be aware that, for us, victories against these teams are achievements. On paper, it is a club which played in Pro B for a long time and which wants to return to the LNB. We had played them in preparation. I know the coach well too, we competed against each other for a long time as hopefuls. In terms of players, it’s complete at all playing positions. If we want to be able to compete and hope to win, we almost have to have a perfect match. We have no margin.
After this meeting, Ferns will continue with a week of two trips: Tours Tuesday October 22 and theUnion Rennes Friday October 25.
