The CFBB were beaten in triple overtime by Le Havre (80-82) in an encounter that only came to live during the last five minutes of regulation time.

Before that Le Havre were cruising to victory leading (53-45). But then they allowed the young guns from the CFBB right back into the match.

Ornella Bankole hit a big three-pointer to tie the game with 18 seconds to play (58-58). Both teams fired some wild shots in the dying seconds without success taking the game into overtime.

The three extra quarters were wild and fun to watch for the neutrals. However for both coaches it should have been a nightmare as too many ill advised shots were taken.

Sarah Ousfar (in picture) finished the game with 18 points and 14 rebounds in what turned out to be her best game of the season. She was really active during the extra quarters and almost won the game on two occasions with last-second shots. 

For the CFBB Bankole continues to enhance her reputation with a game high 20 points while also collecting 14 rebounds.

The players from the CFBB have not much time to rest as most of the players have been called up for the French U18 training camp.

Perpignan Basket are sneaking up on the leaders COB Calais after another busy week of LF2 basketball.

In mid week Roche Vendée, with their third straight defeat, were pushed aside by Perpignan (53-62). It was the turn of captain Pauline Lo to step up offensively with 16 points.

This weekend Laura Datchy, finally cleared to play, contributed 6 points to Perpignan Basket's victory against LF2 final 4 contenders Pau Lacq-Orthez (66-55).

Elodie Bertal (21 points and 13 rebounds) and Fatou Dieng  (13 points and 8 assists) continued from their exploits of the previous weekend. Whereas Mariame Dia and Ingrid Bunel had 14 points each for the team from Mourenx in the South derby.
