One week before the start of the Final Four of the Eurocup, the Tango can secure first place in the regular phase of the Women’s League this week. They will have to dominate Tarbes, Friday on their parquet, and before that Roche Vendée, this evening. “There are sources of motivation in this match, judge Sarah Michel. Securing this first place would then allow us to work for the play-offs, and we have this Final Four in mind, too. »
The Tango remember having lost at home during the first day of the championship (80-82), last October. “It’s a little more for us in our desire to win this match, said, revengefully, vice-captain tango. Against La Roche, we never have easy matches, it’s always hooked, it’s a team that likes to heckle us. »
Bourges Basket close to winning the Women’s League regular season
Keeping up the pace, keeping up the intensity, being efficient: these are the keys of the day for a team that has been undefeated in the league for fourteen games. “We try to stay focused, insists Sarah Michel. We have the motivation to ensure this first place in the regular phase, to stay in our line to prepare well for the matches that come next. »

If Roche Vendée is sixth in the standings, with four of its seven defeats conceded on its floor, the team of Emmanuel Body nevertheless competes in several sectors with the leaders of the championship.
The two best attacks in the championship head to head
The Vendéennes thus have the best attack in LFB (79.1 points on average, against 78.2 for Bourges, second), the best ratio in interceptions (9.4 catches per game, against 9.2 in Bourges). Roche Vendée is also the second best rebound formation (37.8; 39.9 for Bourges) and the third best evaluation (88.2; 96.1 at Tango). So many figures that augur a new tight confrontation, this Tuesday evening.
The ticket office for the Final Four of Eurocoupe, organized in Bourges, is open
Especially since, still deprived, like Saturday in Saint-Amand-les-Eaux, of Endy Miyem and Isabelle Yacoubou, coach Olivier Lafargue adds uncertainty as to the participation of Élodie Godin and Pauline Astier. The first is hit in the back, the second hurt her right ankle. The berruyer staff thus called Jess-Mine Zodia and Stella Mavuanga as reinforcements.
