Laurent Legname (JDA Dijon coach): “By conceding 51 points in the first, it was hard to come back, even if in the second period it was much better, since we leave them at 35 points before the last throws. However in first, we come back twice defending well, but we stop, we start again, and these back and forth in terms of the score have hurt us. The big shots from Andjusic, Courby or Pelos come from the confidence they gained in the first half, when we were too far away from them, and that they used Omic to get out on the shooters. “
Alexandre Chassang (pivot of JDA Dijon): “A game with so many points was the bad scenario for us. To concede 90 points, it’s a bit of a nightmare. We started too far, and we gave everything, but it lacks a bit of lucidity to come back. at the end, because we had already expended a lot of energy. “
Vucevic (Bourg trainer): “The basketball that I love”
“It’s a great victory, with a great basketball, a basketball that I love. I’m very proud of the boys, very happy for them, it’s one of the benchmark matches of our season. Some players had the best game of the season, I am thinking in particular of Andjusic who played very fair. It’s not easy to play against Dijon, and they still gave us incredible shots. To beat them you need concentration for forty minutes. We wanted to try and stop their short roll pass, and we did it, and we also controlled the rebound well. ”
Maxime Courby (JL Bourg winger): “We can talk about a small feat, because it was our pet peeve for three years, and it takes a victory like that. The victory against Strasbourg really did us good (…) They never went ahead, but with Dijon, we know that even at -20 they can come back. We managed this match pretty well, and everyone had fun. Now we want to go for 4th place to host the quarter-final. “
