The step was too high for the GAB this Thursday, May 23, 2024. In a boiling Cauldron, the Lot-et-Garonnais were beaten by Levallois (83-95) in a match of great intensity. But from this evening, they will be in Pomarez, for the semi-final of the South-West Cup.

To tell the truth, the Meilhanais never seemed able to overthrow this Levallois team, led masterfully by its captain Thalien.

The insolent success of Levallois

Despite a tough first quarter, the GAB gave in in the second, not helped by the insolent skill of its evening opponent (eleven successful three-point shots). At halftime, the gap was already too big (33-52).

Despite everything, the locals held on until the end. Thanks to their all-terrain defense, Auriol’s teammates came back to within ten points of the visitors. In vain.

Injured in the hand on Tuesday during the only training of the week, the interior James Jones was greatly missed by his team. Both in the paint where his simple presence monopolizes one or even two defenders, as well as behind the arc where his three-point skill no longer needs to be proven.

The challenge was too great and it was therefore with weapons in hand that the GAB gave in. The group’s disappointment was immense at the end of the match, despite the courageous state of mind displayed.

Bounce back in Pomarez

The advantage, if we see the glass as half full, is that the Yellow & Blue will be able to bounce back quickly. Starting this evening, they go to the Landes, to Pomarez, to face Chalosse (8:15 p.m.).
