Basket Landes will have to move Chartres out of the way to defend its national title.

A victory of 83-92 that allows them to equalize points with the Vendeennes and pass them just by a breath in the difference of points in their two direct matchups. Chartres, who was thought to be condemned to the play-downs, has had an incredible end to the season with three consecutive victories, including two against direct playoff contenders.

At the same time, Toulouse, another candidate for the eighth qualifying spot for the playoffs, was defeated by Lattes-Montpellier (66-82) and Basket Landes has been eliminated from playoff contention by Lyon. The Lyonnaises once again made things difficult for the leading Landes team, who were ahead by a large margin at halftime but finally challenged until the end (63-67). Nevertheless, this 19th victory of the season out of 22 games remains insignificant in the fantastic season of the blue and white team.
