Thanks in particular to an efficient interior sector, Bourges Basket won in Angers (57-70), this Friday evening, in the advanced match of the 19th day of the Women’s League.
The game
Bourges received five out of five. Since February, the Tango have not lost and, this Friday evening, achieved a fifth success in a row in the Women’s League in Angers (57-70), the fifteenth of the season in the championship. The TBB thus puts pressure on the leader, Villeneuve-d’Ascq, who has a perilous trip to negotiate in Lyon on Saturday evening.
In a team struggling to avoid play-downs, the Berruyères were in the lead throughout. In a physical encounter, sometimes clashing, Bourges knew how to impose his law in the racket. As proof, at halftime, in the wake of Kayla Alexander and Ana Maria Filip (12 points at the break for the first mentioned, 11 for the second), the TBB had scored 30 points in the paint. Almost as much as the entire Angevin total (33-43).

However, Angers did not give up, buoyed by the activity of Jasmine Bailey (18 points, 8 rebounds). But the lack of efficiency of the young French international Leïla Lacan (no points scored, 0 out of 5 shooting, 6 lost balls), greatly disrupted by the TBB defense, as well as the little contribution from the bench (6 points, against 27 for the Berruyères), prevented the UFAB from getting back on track against Tango who were generally in control and won (57-70). And this, despite the absence of Alix Duchet (wrist pain) and 20 lost balls.
