We could almost speak of basketball mush, if we only refer to the previous episode of the Burgian campaign and the resounding victory of the Elan. So ?
So, you have to quickly put your head back in place. And for that nothing like a Clasico! But before, you have to go through Orléans, this February 16, and try everything to win the 8th in the Coupe de France. It would be good for morale and would have the merit of spicing up the pre-Clasico even more!
Postponed from January 23 to February 20 due to Covid, this is the match that basketball France is waiting for. The 110th of the name. And like last year, the first leg will be played in Limoges. The 96-87 at the time already made it possible to see that Elan, whatever the circumstances, was always capable of transcending itself for this very special match! Moreover, on June 3, at the Palais, after having experienced almost everything about the emotions of high-level sport, the health crisis and the changes within the club, Elan won the 109th Clasico 78 to 70.
It’s been nearly 45 years! This is October 14, 1978 What dates back the first meeting between the two sacred monsters of French basketball. That day, President Seillant’s men beat Limougeauds dryly 113 to 80. Since then, apart from 1984, with a draw 94 everywhere, the two teams have always taken precedence over each other. And in this little game, Limoges leads 55 to 53. For the record, we recall that in 2017, the Elan won in Haute Vienne 82 to 71. The eleventh time in Limoges. Now to delve into the 110th Clasico, our two commentators Fred Mazéas and Damien Gozioso set the scene of the match that they will both comment on, on France Bleu Béarn Bigorre, Sunday February 20, in Beaublanc, from 4:30 p.m.!
