Here is the last round review presented by Job Market.
Round 8 most important game was a defeat of league’s leader C’Chartres (6-2). They were edged by second ranked Union Rennes (7-1) 101-99 on Tuesday night. It ended at the same time the six-game winning streak of C’Chartres. It was a key game for the top position in the league. Union Rennes forced 19 C’Chartres turnovers. Union Rennes looked well-organized offensively handing out 33 assists. 26 personal fouls committed by C’Chartres helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. Worth to mention a great performance of Guinean forward Cheick Sekou-Conde (203-1992) who helped to win the game recording 25 points and 9 rebounds and naturalized Ivorian forward Remi Dibo (201-1991, college: WVU) who added 18 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists during the contest. American power forward Anthony Smith (201-1997, college: Murray St.) responded with 26 points and 6 rebounds. Both coaches used bench players in such tough game. Union Rennes have an impressive seven-game winning streak. Union Rennes keeps a position of league leader, which they share with 3 other teams. C’Chartres at the other side dropped to the second place with two games lost. They share the position with Toulouse and Challans. They were replaced at the leadership position by Rennes. C’Chartres will play next round against Loon-Plage trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Union Rennes will try to continue on its current victory against seventh ranked Rueil on the road.
Very important is a road loss of third ranked Toulouse (6-2) against thirteenth ranked Tours (2-6) on Tuesday night. Visiting Toulouse was defeated by Tours in a tough game in Tours 72-80. It ended at the same time the four-game winning streak of Toulouse. The winners were led by swingman Pierre-Etienne Drouault (196-1990) who scored that evening 18 points and 5 rebounds (was perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line) and Abdel Kader Sylla supported him with 10 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists. Tours’ coach Thomas Drouot allowed to play the deep bench players saving starting five for next games. Even 12 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists by point guard Victor Mopsus (179-1999) did not help to save the game for Toulouse. Tours moved-up to twelfth place, which they share with Berck and Boulogne. Toulouse at the other side dropped to the second position with two games lost. They share it with Challans and Chartres. Tours will play against higher ranked Les Sables (#9) in Les Sables-D’Ollone in the next round and it may be quite challenging game. Toulouse will play at home against the league’s second-placed Vendee Challans (#2) and will have a slim chance for a victory.

The best player for the winners was Pape Diop who scored 27 points (on 9-of-11 shooting from the field). Joe Burton produced a double-double by scoring 24 points and 18 rebounds (on 10-of-13 shooting from the field) for the hosts. Orchesien BC’s coach rotated ten players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Andrezieux have an impressive six-game winning streak. They keep a position of league leader, which they share with 3 other teams. Loser Orchesien BC keeps the fourth place with three games lost. They share the position with 3 other teams. Andrezieux will meet Kaysersberg (#13) on the road in the next round which should be an easy win for them. Orchesien BC will play against Caen (#4) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
There were no shocking results in the other games in round 8: Poitiers lost to Challans on the opponent’s court 80-83. Lorient outscored Rueil in a home game 81-62. Tarbes-Lourdes managed to beat Pole France on the road 77-71. Loon-Plage was defeated by Berck on its own court 52-67. Vitre was beaten by Les Sables in Les Sables-D’Ollone 80-70.
