Regular Season Round 20: Union Tours - Lorient 81-70

Date: January 26, 2019
There was a minor upset when one of their biggest challengers Lorient (11-9) was defeated at home by eighth ranked Union Tours (11-9) 81-70 on Saturday. Worth to mention a great performance of American point guard Diante Watkins (174-90, college: Robert Morris) who helped to win the game recording 19 points and 6 assists and Bruno Cingala-Mata (204-93) who added 10 points and 10 rebounds during the contest. Union Tours' coach Pierre Tavano used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. American forward Zach Brown (198-95, college: Wichita St.) responded with a double-double by scoring 13 points and 11 rebounds and naturalized Mali point guard Ibrahim Saounera (179-87) scored 18 points and 5 assists. Both teams had four players each who scored in double figures. Union Tours moved-up to fifth place in Group B, which they share with Lorient and Vitre. Union Tours will face higher ranked Etoile Angers (#4) at home in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Lorient will play against Rueil and hope to win that game.
