And, surprise, it is Angers, still undefeated after five days, which will have a warm day thanks to its victory on Saturday evening over Chartres. Aurélie Bonnan's players, led by an excellent Ameryst Alston (24 points on 9/13 shots, 5 rebounds), avoided the misstep against an eye-catching promotion (92-82). The UFAB (5-0) thus maintains a victory ahead of a trio made up of Bourges, Charnay and Lyon (4-1).

The Tangos inflicted a 10th defeat in as many official matches this season (5 in the championship) on the French champions, Villeneuve d'Ascq (88-70), still burdened by absences (Carla Leite, Maïa Hirsch, Caroline Hériaud, Amina Gueye, Héléna Ciak). Manhandled at the start of the match, the Pinkies overthrew Roche Vendée at home (67-54).

Finally, the Lionesses won a prestigious victory by winning after overtime at the expense of Basket Landes in Mado-Bonnet (89-85). Leila Lacan snatched an extratime (78-78) after intercepting a ball 1.2 seconds from the buzzer, but teammates Laura Quevedo (17 points, 10 rebounds) and Julie Wojta (18 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists) regained the upper hand in extra time.
