Head Coaches

JACKSON, JD

Le Mans Sarthe Basket

"Tonight we played with great urgency we needed this win to stay in the race and we all brought the intensity necessary to do it. The two last games are now like playoff games as we must assure our eventual qualification. Physically we were dominant unlike the game last week, and this made all the difference. "

KOCH, STEFAN

Artland Dragons

"We were embarrassed. It is my third year with the team as coach and we never lost with such a difference. We never were in the game, we didn’t find the right attitude. Le Mans played their best game in competition. We did more than a poor job. They have the most athletic players. I have to congratulate Le Mans, the coach and the players. We are in a difficult situation. We have to win both games and for Le Mans to lose two games; it’s our only chance to play in the next round."

Players

LONG, CAMERON

Le Mans Sarthe Basket

"This is how we have to play each game. We wanted to prove our level. We started with a lot of energy, we had rhythm and motivation. We never stopped and we played hard in defense."

KING, ANTHONY

Artland Dragons

"This game was more physical than the first game. I completely agree with coach’s analysis. We have no excuse. Le Mans had six players with more than 10 points. "
