Few elements suggest that the Montalbanais will succeed in the feat of renewing their lease in National 3. Because it is indeed an improbable comeback that they are now being asked for…
Montauban basketball club-Jeanne d’Arc d’Oloron, this evening Saturday, at 8:30 p.m., in Montauban (Fobio multisports hall, 49 rue du Ramiérou).
Certainly the return of the shortest trip of the season last week must have been long, very long… In Cahors/Sauzet the Tarn-et-Garonnais once again failed to reverse the trend in a very difficult season. Now we have to ask ourselves the right questions on the side of the MBC. Should Montauban stay in the French National 3 championship? Yes ; Will Montauban stay in National 3? It’s gone very badly. Can Montauban stay in National 3? Under these conditions, no. The case indeed seems more and more delicate following the defeat at the Lot red lantern. For long weeks the MBC has been scratching its head. No need to look at the ranking, it’s scary. No need to take out the calculator, it will come, perhaps, in time. There are seven games left to play and the equation is simple: it takes 5 wins to hope to maintain. Suffice to say that with barely three successes in fifteen games, two games more than his direct pursuer Malaussanne a point behind, it is clear that the trend is not good. All the more so when we listen more closely to the meetings to come, we can have fears. But you never know, with this team anything is possible.
As long as there is play…
It is still necessary that the workforce is complete. Injured, sick with covid or suspended, many are missing. This evening at the Fobio, facing Oloron-Sainte-Marie, it will still be necessary to respond. The desire is still there, the players never give up. But despite its courage, will the team be able to hold off in sixth place in the standings, which won the first leg by 8 points against a full Montalban team (81-73). We will once again have to surpass ourselves, get this energy that we saw against Toulouges and maintain the effort until the end, crossing our fingers. Avoid making too many mistakes of course, because it spoils the end of the meetings. In short, to be “supermen” from start to finish…
If Cahors/Sauzet, following its victory, has regained the hope of maintaining it, the MBC can hope all the more. The games are not completely done and the public will once again have to play their part, once again very numerous and noisy in the stands of the cauldron to push their deserving team.
