Dn a match between teams with different ambitions, the BBM came to win on the Coteaux du Luy floor this Saturday (73-89), despite a good first half. However, the start was successful for the Marmandais, who scored the first four points, before Larribau, with a great move, reduced the score. The instruction to restart the game quickly is applied more than ever and, following five consecutive points from captain Dupouy-Sisteron, the Luycontins go in front (7-5). Lots of pace on both sides of the pitch, Bekoule Ekambi is quickly penalized with a second foul and joins the bench. But the Lot-et-Garonnais were not left out and got back in front following a winning shot from Demont.
First break for the visitors (9-14, 6th) before Cambon brings his team back to two points (12-14). The crossover continues and thanks to a “2 + 1” from Larribau, the Landais lead again (17-16). The Luycontins left a lot of energy in the fight, the Lot-et-Garonnais, more serene, took the free throws (8 in this quarter) to lead at the end of the first ten minutes (21-26).
Frédéric Lanave’s players suffer physically in front of the opposing sizes. Pellure drops the fouls and the BBM maintains its lead. We guess it will be hard but possible for the locals. With great courage, they come back to two points. An uncalled foul on Vermillac triggers terrible fury in the stands. The visitors take offensive rebounds but do not convert this domination. This allows the Luycontins to lead 40-38 at halftime.
Fatal Faults
Seck, position 5 of the BBM, dominates the rebound and allows his team to regain the score. Lauretet, on his first shot of the match, added three points for his team. Well served in the paint, Seck scores again. The match became tense and following a scuffle, two unsportsmanlike acts were whistled on both sides and one disqualified Vermillac, who entered the field. Then it was the Landes coach’s turn to be sanctioned with a technical foul for protest.
The promoted ones will not recover. The Lot-et-Garonnais steal balls and exert great defensive pressure, the Chalossais, helpless, come up against a real wall (56-65). Seck continues to dominate on the rebound. The greens are hanging on but seem more and more powerless in the face of the Marmandaise machine, sure of its doing and which manages its advance with mastery. Finally two consecutive winning shots (Demont and Monceau) definitively cut the wings of the Landais (66-81). The Luycontins will remember something positive from their performance against a top player in the group, while the Lot-et-Garonnais continue to chart their course, sure of their strength.
Reactions
Gilles Versier (coach of BBM) : “It’s a close victory against a valiant team. In the end because it took a long time to take shape, the first three quarters of the match were tough then we were able to play our game a little more in the last. »
Laurent Dupouy-Sisteron (captain of Coteaux du Luy): “The first half is more than convincing with a two-point bonus at the siren. The lack of lucidity in the second half, details, defensive oversights allow them to take the psychological advantage and their physicality then makes us lower our heads. The final gap of 16 points absolutely does not reflect the nature of the match. »
