The Landes club, which took first place in its group A, will begin with a very important Franco-French duel in its François-Mitterrand lair on Wednesday December 11 against Bourges. An opponent that the Landaises dominated during the second day of the Women's League (68-55), but the Berruyères were notably missing their new recruit and MVP of the LFB final with Villeneuve-d'Ascq Kariata Diaby.
Mersin after returning from vacation
Julie Barennes' players will continue with a long trip to the Czech Republic to face Brno, the lowest ranked team in this new group E with four defeats, on December 18. Then, after the end-of-year holidays, the Landes will resume on January 8 with the reception of Mersin, the biggest piece of this new group, the French Marine Fauthoux, Marine Johannès and Iliana Rupert as well as the former basketball player Landes Reagan Magarity (double winner of the Coupe de France in 2022 and 2023).
For the return phase, the players of the blue and white club will go to Bourges on January 15, before receiving Brno on the 22nd then finishing in Turkey against Mersin on the 28th. The new objective of Basket Landes will be to secure one of the four first qualifying places for the play-ins, which would allow it to reach the European top 8.
An affordable ambition, since the Landes club will start this new phase in second place in group E (contrary to what we indicated in our editions of November 27 and 28), behind Mersin (6 victories) and tied on points with Schio and Bourges (4 victories for 2 defeats).
