Tarbo-Lourdais easily dominated Boulogne-sur-Mer in the return match in the first round of the playoffs, Friday night at the Quai (87-68). They reach the quarter-finals, but do not yet know their opponent.
If there was tension in the first leg in the north. The second opposition between the Union and Boulogne-sur-Mer turned into a correction, and Tarbais left no chance to the evening opponent. Certainly, the northerners started the match better in the wake of Chathuant, author of a 2/2 three-pointer (2-6, 2nd). But the hope for the visitors to make up for the defeat in the first leg was short-lived, the U’boys took the lead thanks to Jonathan Boucaud from long distance (9-7, 5.). Certainly, Boulogne will get back in front thanks to one and one from the Boulogne captain (12-13, 7th), but it is Stéphane Dao’s men who finish in the lead in the first quarter. Thanks to a 6-0 run in the last two minutes, the locals lead 21-15.
On contact, Boulonnais will get a shine at the start of the second quarter. Badiane first and then Boucaud twice behind the arc will give Bigourdans a significant lead (33-17, 15th). A 16-point lead that will turn to 20 when you enter the locker room thanks to a basket from Ateba two seconds from the buzzer (44-24).
Quarterfinal opponents not yet known
If any team is capable of closing a 20-point gap over two quarters, this was not the case for Boulogne last night, even though the regular MVP played in the black and yellow jersey. The second half will be summed up with a demonstration by the citizens of the Quai de l’Adour. Chambre, Ateba and others will maintain the pace when they return from the locker room to lead by 27 points (66-39, 27th). As for the last 10 minutes, when we saw the Bigourdan substitutes on the pitch, we quickly understood that they were going to be devoid of sporting interest. While the gap increased to 32 points, Boulogne worked to make the final result more acceptable.
In any case, it is Tarbo-Heavy that reaches the quarter-finals. But without knowing the opponent. Avignon’s win last night against Vitré pushes the teams into a Game 3 this Sunday. In the meantime, Stéphane Dao and his players will be able to enjoy a well-deserved rest.
