Cholet is well started to have the advantage of the field in the first round of the playoffs. Winner in Saint-Quentin this Saturday, April 19 (71-77), the Mauges club is almost guaranteed to finish in the top 4 after the regular season, with 3 victories in advance on the JL Bourg, beaten the day before by the ASVEL, four days from the end.<\/p>\n
“It's a good operation, a good result”<\/em>satisfied Fabrice Lefran\u00e7ois<\/strong> with Ouest-France<\/a>, <\/em>of Western mail <\/em>andThe New Aisne<\/a><\/em>. \u201cFrankly, winning in this room where there is real energy is very difficult. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em> Even if Pierre-Ratte is no longer as impregnable in 2025 as in the past, as evidenced by this 4th defeat in 6 home games.<\/p>\n Nevertheless, Cholet Basket did what it took to win outside. Living the debates for a large part of the meeting, the team of Fabrice Lefran\u00e7ois was able to resist the latest attempts to return to Axon at the end of the game. The big shots of Nolan Traor\u00e9<\/strong> (17 points at 6\/11 shots, 7 assists) and Jerome Robinson<\/strong> (19 points at 5\/15), the best Saint-Quentinois markers in the evening, have waved but not to break CB. The latter was also able to count on a good Stefan Smith<\/strong> (17 points at 5\/13) to register some precious baskets at the end of the match in order to start from the Aisne with the victory (71-77).<\/p>\n Cholet, not necessarily more skillful than Saint-Quentin (27\/60 for CB, 24\/58 for the SQBB), again made his defensive aggressiveness speak to take the best on his direct opponent. “The Choletais are used to playing like hunger people, probably more than us”<\/em>regretted the rear Picard Lo\u00efc Swartz<\/strong> at a press conference. The fragility of his team with free throws (13\/25, against 12\/17 for CB) also hurt a lot.<\/p>\n With this victory, Cholet Basket remains at a victory for the first in the Betclic Elite classification, ASVEL. For Saint-Quentin, which continues a 3rd defeat immediately against a member of the Top 4 (after ASVEL and Monaco), it is to be hoped that the results of this 26th day of the championship do not bring down the SQBB in the Play-In race.<\/p>\n Thanks to his victory, @Cb_officiel<\/a> confirms its place in the top 4️⃣ of #BetclicELITE<\/a> And stays hung on the head wagon 🔝 pic.twitter.com\/y5QXZMckrE<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Betclic ELITE (@Betclic_ELITE) April 19, 2025<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\nSaint-Quentin overwhelmed by Choletese aggression<\/strong><\/h4>\n
