CFBB at the other side still closes the standings with six games lost. Nice will play against Reims (#6) at home in the next round. CFBB will play against Feytiat (#13) and hopes to get finally their first victory.
The game in Reims was also quite interesting. 6th ranked Geispolsheim (3-3) played at the court of eighth ranked Reims (3-3). Reims managed to secure a 8-point victory 71-63 on Saturday. Anya Poole had a double-double by scoring 14 points and 18 rebounds to lead the charge for the winners. The best for the losing side was Ines Debroise with 11 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists.
