NF1 Basketball news: Toulouse won, but what a match
With less than 14 seconds left to play in regulation time Virginie Bremont found herself at the free-throw line for Armentières. She made the first one and Armentières were back in front (64-63). She missed the second free-throw but Perrine Demet got the offensive rebound and was eventually fouled. Demet made no mistake from the free-throw line (66-63).
There was more drama in overtime as Demet once again from the free-throw line gave Armentières the lead (72-70). However 30 seconds from the end they left former Bourges Basket espoir Carole Lebouc open from the perimeter. She fired in the three-pointer for the hosts to lead (73-72). The game was then decided at the free-throw line. Gaëtane Merlot split a pair for the guests to tie the game once again. With less than three seconds on the clock, Merlot was called for a foul on Julie Minard. Minard split the pair but it was enough for the victory (74-73).For Armentières it was a sad way to end the match. They had gone into the fourth quarter leading (51-40). Toulouse hit three three-pointers within 65 seconds at the start as Hermouet and Anna Nedovic (right) went to work on reducing the deficit. Armentières were never able to regain real control after this burst and then paid the price with their generosity during the last quarter from the free-throw line. Armentières have dropped to third while Toulouse moved up to fifth place.
