The adventure in the European Cup ends for the Violettes, beaten in two sets by the Germans of Keltern (first leg: 60-45 in favor of Keltern).

After a fierce fight on Saturday December 14 against Basket Landes during the South-West derby, the TGB seems to have left a lot of strength in this confrontation. This was felt this Wednesday, December 18 during the return match of the EuroCup round of 32. Indeed, the TGB suffered a heavy defeat with a score of 71-50, the Germans imposing their domination throughout the 40 minutes of play.

Reduced by the absence of its captain Camille Droguet, the TGB was overwhelmed from the start of the match. The Germans took the advantage immediately, relying on their skill, their organization and great physical intensity. Logically, the TGB is eliminated from the competition.

Despite everything, there are some reasons for satisfaction to remember for this return match. The coach took advantage of this meeting in particular to offer playing time to his young players, who showed great things on the pitch.

Thus, the TGB’s European adventure comes to an end after a remarkable group stage. Now it’s time for the championship with an important meeting on Saturday December 21 in Chartres, bottom of the rankings. A victory would allow the TGB to complete a positive first leg. The return phase will begin on Saturday January 5, 2025 with the reception of Angers in the French championship. Furthermore, the TGB remains involved in the Coupe de France, with a quarter-final scheduled for the end of January at the Quai de l’Adour.
