Limoges CSP fought well but conceded another defeat Tuesday in Bourg-en-Bresse. the Coupe de France adventure ends in the round of 16 for Cancellieri’s group.
The encounter :
Like last Saturday in the league, the Limougeauds started their match well at Bourg-en-Bresse on Tuesday evening with another precious Grismay Paumier. But this time, there was no big air pocket in the 1st half for Limoges CSP who reached the break with an 8-point lead 39 to 47 despite their 8 lost balls but with regained address ( 58%). When they returned from the locker room, the Bressans gradually caught up and finally got ahead. The CSP did not let go thanks in particular to its players on the bench. When they respond to the image of ‘a very aggressive and combative Assane Ndoye, that changes the game. The Limougeauds even offered themselves a one-possession match without managing to snatch extra time and before losing 88 to 82. There is better but it was not enough. Before the arrival of Pau on Sunday at Beaublanc, it is the 5th defeat in a row in all competitions for the players of Cancellieri.
