After attacking the game on foot this Saturday, November 9, leading comfortably to the break, the Auscitains ultimately did not resist the reaction of the Niortais in the second half, who won 80 to 67.
No surprise unfortunately for Auch BC which lost on Saturday evening in Niort, 80-67, after having been twelve lengths ahead at the break, 33-45. Jérôme Séailles‘ players, now counting five defeats for three victories, remain stuck in tenth place in the ranking, just ahead of four suffering teams, Brissac Aubance, Coteaux du Luy, Montaigu Vendée and Nantes Hermine.
The next reception of the now only and astonishing leader, Marmande, who got rid of the TOAC, this Saturday, will put a lot of pressure on the shoulders of Jordan Debrie’s teammates.

However, the Auscitains got off to a flying start in the beautiful Niort venue on Saturday evening. A first act where the skill is there and pocketed hands down, 16-26, enough to give enough confidence to tackle the rest of the game.
The second act was mastered, and Théo Herzig then Maxence Courtoisie, Auscitain’s top scorer on Saturday with 14 units, allowed their team to return to the locker room with a comfortable lead at half-time, 33-45.
An advance that will melt like snow in the sun
But the reaction of Laurent Hay’s Niortais will be dazzling from the restart, a 13 to 0 in a few minutes destroying all the efforts made at the start of the game, 46-45. Auch reacted however, 47-54, but pushed by their supporters, the teammates of Quentin Moretto and Fabien Bondron went back in front, 61-59.
