CSL Dijon (N2, + 7): 81
Le Poinçonnet (N1): 84
As required by the regulations, the Dijonnaises start the game with an advantage of 7 units since they are playing one level below their opponent. But, determined to enforce the hierarchy, the Poinçonnoises were quick to catch up (25-28, 12e). The visitors, led by Grissett and Karamovic in great form, particularly shined on long-distance shots at the start of the match.
A failed last quarter
The locals lost their footing in a second quarter controlled by the Indriennes, who now took a ten point lead. In difficulty, the Dijonnaises put their heart into the work to react and wake up a Lentillères room that had until then been quite timid. But the skill of Pillet and his partners continues to hurt them. “I think we had three quarters more or less under control, despite ups and downswill decipher the Poinçonnois coach, François Menival. We could have gotten to safety before the last quarter, which is clearly not good, where we absolutely no longer control what we are doing, nor the rhythm of the match. »
Because the Burgundians remained in the race at the start of the final quarter (60-68, 30e). And with an excellent end to the game, their perseverance allowed them to pick up the score and come back to a small point.
“We can consider ourselves happy”
The Poinçonnet players made a series of bad choices, notably by persisting with long shots while success was now eluded them. “We insist on three-point attempts, while we don't make any in the last quarter. It's a small lack of lucidity which shows that we must learn how to play to our strengths, and at what moment in the match », Ménival will recognize.
-Poinçonnet still came through and, despite these few scares, secured the essentials by qualifying for the round of 16 of this Coupe de France Trophy (81-84). “It’s a match that allows us to have warnings regarding several small thingswill conclude the Poiçonnois coach. But we can count ourselves happy to move on to the next round. We congratulate this Dijon team, because they had a big match, returning to the intensity. I wish them to go up, to meet them again in Nationale 1. “
