During Limoges CSP’s last outings, the scenario is too often similar. Whatever the floor, the Limougauds end up giving in for almost a year and that “even I can’t explain it” confides Lucas Beaufort. This Saturday, November 16, traveling to Lorraine, the leader wants “break the bad spell” facing an opponent he knows only too well. Born in Strasbourg, he scored this match in Nancy because “I will have family and friends in the stands“but above all because the Sluc”symbolizes the last away victory” of Limoges CSP.
“I’ve been thinking about it for a year”
This December 10, 2023, the Limougauds had won in Nancy (67-75) at the term “of a not very good match” remembers Lucas Beaufort, but “we knew how to impose our rhythm, play our game and win there.“Except that since that day, the CSP has no longer won away et “I’ve been thinking about it for a year.” On the bench, coach Jean-Marc Dupraz puts things into perspective: “I don’t follow stats very much and above all I consider that it’s not a subject since we don’t have the same team as last year and neither do they. A whole series has an end and the further you go in a series, the closer it gets to the end.”
However, Jean-Marc Dupraz does not hide it: “Winning away in our championship counts double, especially in our quest to maintain. We are going to play our luck to the fullest but at the same time it is against Nancy and we know that it is a strong team.” Sluc is 11th in Betclic Elite, just behind CSP 10th. To win, it will be necessary “increase the intensity” et channeling a player in particular: Shevon Thompson. The Nancy interior is the best rebounder, the third best scorer and above all the best evaluation in the championship.
