The Tarbes-Lourdes Union did not manage to take revenge on Mulhouse and bows this Tuesday evening, from a small point (76-77) which makes it lose a place but not the qualification for the Play-Off of National 1 already assured.
For their “der” at home in this second phase, the U’boys, already assured of playing the play-off after their success in Loon-Plage were keen to continue on this same dynamic against Mulhouse, sentenced to a feat in Bigorre to hang the qualifier ‘.
But very quickly in this first quarter, Mo Queta was going to set the tone for the meeting. After a first missile, Queta was going to repeat behind the arc. Mukuna found a first solution, but as Joseph and Pharose were in tune, the U’boys had made a first station wagon (15-3, 5th). He hardly stopped the hemorrhage because opposite, the red made the platform lifted. Mulhouse was running after the score, and if Frank Khun’s men resumed a few meters, the Union kept the hand after ten minutes (20-15).
Venckus “from the bottom of the parking lot”, starred on a 2 + 1 and now Wiscart Goetz gave a new bowl of air. Opposite Mukuna seemed alone when Badiane put a little more. The union had taken its ease, and the platform pushed even more.
From + 5 to the end of the first quarter, we arrived at + 16 (35-19, 15th) on this new 2 + 1 of the Bigourdan interior which took its place in the painting. Incredict of launches, samoura on attacking the circle, Mulhouse found some solutions, and the former Tarbais leader, behind the arc, brought back under the ten units (41-33) mid-term.
The Union Courbe L’Echine … and gets out of his match
Milanese then samura brought closer a little more.
-The chase was launched, and Mulhouse had filled its delay. Then Joseph worked again, helped by Queta to keep the union at the forefront. Because Mulhouse had returned with other intentions. Milanese, then Faulkner had compared a little more, leaving the teams back to back (49-49, 26th), before taking the hand for the first time in the game.
The match was raised and it was now the union that ran after the scoring. So much so that at attack on the last quarter, Stéphane Dao’s protégés were now 6 lengths behind (53-59).
Mike Joseph had declared in our columns: “I have to be impeccable”. In the latter quarter, Thiam played with the nerves of the interior Bigourdan.
So much so that the latter was going to leave his partners on a second technical fault … The Tarbais had lost their control tower, but also the thread of a match which no longer seemed to be able to escape Mulhouse. However, N’Dir behind the arc, then starred with throws endeavored to bring closer. And even if Pharose added two throws, bringing closer a little more, that Venckus thought of equalizing 2 seconds from the term, it was Mulhouse who came to win in Bigorre (76-77), by the smallest of the differences.
