On Saturday, February 21st, the Saint-Pavin basketball team suffered a 66-72 loss against La Séguinière, the second-ranked team in the league. The match, held in Le Mans, was characterized by early inefficiency from both sides, but La Séguinière gradually found its rhythm with strong collective play. Despite efforts from players like Tidjane Legrand, who scored 13 points, and Richoux with two crucial three-pointers, Saint-Pavin struggled to maintain offensive effectiveness. A key turning point occurred when Perret was ejected for two unsportsmanlike fouls, diminishing Saint-Pavin's chances. La Séguinière, demonstrating composure, managed the final minutes effectively to secure a deserved victory, a disappointing outcome for Saint-Pavin who fought hard against a promotion contender.
