The Boulazac Basket Dordogne is not mathematically relegated to National, but its defeat, this Saturday April 9, 2022, at the Palio, against the red lantern, Rouen, practically condemns it to the descent.
Boulazac faced the insolent success of Rouen
20 prize-winning baskets scored this evening by Rouen, undoubtedly the main key to his victory at the Palio. The boulazacois were in difficulty, each time Rouen played the zone defense. The BBD has sometimes lost its basketball there. We note the excellent match of Batiste Tchouaffé on the Boulazac side and the awakening of Olivier Cortale, transparent for a few matches. But Nana Foulland always seems below and does not bring what her team needs. The absence of Nic Moore is still cruelly felt and his possible return to Alsace, during the next match, could make him the return of the messiah.
We nevertheless believed in it after the return of the BBD
Boulazac was trailing at half-time 50-37 and was even 20 points behind before starting and making a comeback. The delay is only 3 points at the end of the third quarter time. We then say to ourselves that Boulazac has let the storm pass and that the end of the meeting will be more favorable to him. The 12 award-winning baskets will not be enough! Boulazac, who took control as money time approached, had his politeness toasted by missing crucial free throws in the last moments of the match and was crucified by a final and twentieth basket awarded by the visitors. There are now 6 games left to play to maintain, but the task looks more and more complicated.
