   ProB Final : Vichy goes up to ProA
*Vichy had a pretty easy game vs Quimper this week-end in Bercy. Because of the specific rules of this season, Vichy was going all in on a single game, after having secured the regular season 1st place. Quimper finished the season at rank#3 and eliminated Limoges (2-0) and St-Quentin (2-1) to win a ticket to Bercy. If Vichy could have lost everything on this game, it didn't really happened, since Vichy is the uncontested leader of all ProB this season.
Vichy won this game 70-49, a game with a little score exactly like one season before. Jimmal Ball was the MVP of this game, as well as he was the MVP of the season. Like a lot of team during the year, Quimper struggled finding offensive solutions against Vichy's defense.Quimper stayed stuck at 24pts at half-time, only scoring one point more during the second half. On the other side, a couple of treys by Ball created a little gap at half-time (34-24). It was too hard for Quimper to come back in this very defensive game.
Quimper had a good season, but could start a new cycle, since coach Olivier Cousin announced he would leave the team. Vichy will try to secure a place in ProA, and could keep some of the players of the ProB team. Zach Moss will be there next season, for example.
Vichy managed to win this single ticket this season. The big deal will now to stay in ProA, reduced to 16 teams.
