Beaten 86-87 by the Geneva Lions, their journey ended in the quarter-finals. However, he does not have to be ashamed of his performance.
BBC Monthey-Chablais will not see the semi-finals of the Swiss Cup. Faced with the current second in the championship, who fell to Friborg Olympic in the previous round, Chris Chougaz’s phalanx came close to an authentic feat, but failed on the wire.
Put into orbit by a still precious Brendan Favre and a returning Robinson who took the opportunity to recall the good memories of his last exercise at Reposieux, the Valaisans returned to the locker room for tea with only one unit behind their opponent.
Alas for them, the omnipresence of James in the racket and the surgical precision of Williams at long distance finally got the better of the good intentions of the Boars. Leading by three units with possession thirty seconds from the end of the match, the latter will have stammered their Basketball at the worst moment.
With this elimination, the yellow and green can now only count on the championship to save their season. A championship that they will return to on Wednesday already, with a perilous trip to the Starwings floor, a direct competitor for a place in the playoffs.
