Basket Pro B. Alm Évreux on mission

On paper, the mission that awaits Évreux on Saturday in the Périgord seems very delicate. The Boulazac Basket Dordogne (BBD) is currently in the elbow with Blois to compete in first place, synonymous with direct rise in Elite Betclic.

The team ofAlexandre Ménardwho has only lost twice in his beautiful Palio this season, has just atomiced Pau-Orthez on Tuesday evening (+ 21) on the occasion of the last update of the Pro B calendar. It will therefore hardly be ready to be tickled too closely by the false class.

False because, without the two victories withdrawn from him by the LNB, the Alm Évreux would be 18th and before Chartres and Fos-sur-Mer, his two companions of misfortune.

It will not clearly be Marc Namura’s plan on Saturday evening in Dordogne.

“No, we will try to take advantage of the offensive impact ofYvan (Ouedraogo) and Gus (Okafor) In the racket so that we can then allow our shooters to have open shots. Now, we will have to know how to adapt also to what our opponent will offer. »»

With three slightly reduced players (calf for Radnic, ankle for Anglooma, Achille tendon for Ouedraogo) but a full workforce, the ALM will therefore go by bus and without excessive pressure in the southwest. But with the firm intention of making predictions lie that will not go in his favor …
