Longueau won an important victory in the race to maintain, Saturday November 9 at home, against the Touraine Basket Club (95-82), which, like the “Green Team”, had only one victory in seven matches before the kick-off of the meeting. In front of their public, the promoted Samarians were able to show character and organization, despite the absence of three major players, to achieve this success which took them out of the relegation zone.
The Longacoissiens, determined, imposed their pace from the start and quickly took the advantage (27-17) in front of a struggling Touraine defense. Still in the lead at the break (47-41), they then saw their opponents pass them at the end of the third quarter. Sébastien Bozon‘s players, however, maintained their calm (68-67) and accelerated in the last ten minutes, thus leaving Touraine BC at bay.
