Bourges lost to Valence 76-68 just like the players of Basket Landes, who chained against Famila Schio 78-58 a fourth defeat, Tuesday during the 4th day of the Euroleague.
On the floor of the Spanish team, direct competitor of Tango Bourges for a qualifying place in the Final Four, the Berruyères struggled to break away despite Yvonne Anderson’s twenty points.
If the French women came back from the locker room in force and had an advantage of eight points (50-42) halfway through the third quarter, the Spaniards raised their level of play at the end of the match, relegating Bourges to more than ten dots (71-60).
The many free throws conceded by Valence were not enough for the Berruyères to come back. They concede their second defeat in the competition.
In Mont-de-Marsan, led from the start of the match by Schio 2nd in group B, the Landaises, at the bottom of the table, managed to come back to 40-43 at half-time before sinking completely at the start of the third quarter -time, letting the Italians fly away. The Landaises, who were up to 21 points behind halfway through the last quarter (53-74), thus chained their fourth defeat in the competition.
