Five years after its relegation to Pro B, will Sluc Nancy find the elite of French basketball? We are entitled to hope after the dream evening of Tuesday. The Cougars take the lead in the championship after their victory against Rouen, in Gentilly, 98-93. A success combined with the defeat of the leader Saint-Chamond against Evreux.
Two decisive matches
The Sluc thus chained eleven consecutive victories, and is 80 minutes from a rise in Pro A. “Everyone is aware that the job is not finished”, warns Benjamin Havon. The Lorrainers face Blois on Saturday 6 May. “It’s almost no worse that we play again on Saturday and not next week. Like that, at least, there is no time. We’ll get back to work tomorrow.”
