This Saturday, the Niss’Angels face Nantes Rezé Basket for the 9th day of the LFB championship. Nantes has the same record as Nice with 2 wins and 6 losses as of the eve of this matchday.
Nantes is a team to be taken very seriously with a strong backbone. Three players average more than 11 points, including Marielle Amant, who won silver at the Euro last summer with the French team. Add to that one of the best point guards in the LFB, Caroline Aubert (averaging 7 assists) and an excellent three-point shooter to challenge the zone defense!
On Wednesday evening, in the EuroCup, Nantes (at home) defeated Namur, the weakest team in their group, by one point, 80-79.
For the Niss’Angels, it promises to be a trap match that they absolutely must win at home this Saturday, with the support of the Leyrit crowd, by showcasing their qualities.
