Victorious respectively over Salamanca and Olympiakos this Wednesday, the Landaises and the Berruyères continue their European journey.
Bourges and Basket Landes qualified for the second round of the women's Euroleague Basketball on Wednesday during the 5th day, which finally smiled on Villeneuve-d'Ascq, winner for the first time of the season in all competitions.
The Landeses won painfully at home against Salamanca (59-58) and are sure to finish, before the last day, in one of the first three places in Group A with three victories for two defeats.
The Berruyères are in the same situation with the same record in Pool B after having experienced fewer difficulties against Olympiakos (82-62, 47-20 at half-time).
Both will try during the next day next Wednesday, respectively against Schio (Italy) and Brno (Czech Republic), to achieve a fourth success to enter the second round in a better position.
Villeneuve-d'Ascq, for its part, joined Polkowice in Pool C (a victory for both teams) by dominating it at the Palacium (100-83) after a series of 11 defeats in all competitions to start the season.
The reigning European vice-champions and French champions are still alive. But they have not made up for the particular difference compared to the Poles and will therefore have, to snatch the last ticket, to win in Zaragoza and bet on a defeat of Polkowice at Fenerbahçe.
