The nightmare scenario for the Niss’Angels occurred. Roche Vendée’s victory over Hainaut Basket had already put pressure on Cavigal, who could not afford to lose.
At home against Mondeville, Nice forced overtime with three free throws by Alix Duchet but faltered thereafter (8-14 in 5′).
Final score: 69-75 (14-12, 18-18, 10-19, 19-12, 8-14) in favor of Mondeville.
CNB06 can no longer mathematically stay in the LFB.
Stats: shots 26/68, free throws 13/14, rebounds 40 (K. Cooper 9). Points: A. Duchet 23.
Last league match: next Saturday against Roche Vendée.
