Ask Kathy Wambe...


Géraldine Robert and Kathy WambeGéraldine Robert and Kathy Wambe

Kathy Wambe was an LFB assist queen during her time playing for Villeneuve d'Ascq. Unfortunately her 2014-2015 season ended before the first game of the Belgium season with an Achilles tear.

However the former Villeneuve d' Ascq point guard who had dished out 16 assists in a LFB game of 2007 will be happy to see that French club teams still like to pass the ball around.

Wbbif wish Kathy Wambe a speedy recovery and hope to see her soon. In the meantime, Géraldine Robert, her former team-mate is back in Villeneuve d'Ascq after four years away.

Les passes décisives sont significatives
pour la victoire

COB Calais est la seule formation qui perd quoiqu'elle a plus de passes décisives que son adversaire.

Lattes Montpellier tombe encore une fois pendant que Tango Bourges Basket danse à nouveau et a - comme Basket Landes - qu'une défaite à son nom.

Géraldine RobertGéraldine Robert

Une saison et six journées en LFB et Angers se trouve au milieu du tableau après avoir enregistré un grand succès contre Lyon BF (93-79). Pareil pour les passes décisives, les Angevines sont gagnantes avec 27 contre 15.

Lizanne Murphy contribue à la victoire 29 points et 6 passes, épaulée par Camille Aubert (10 points, 8 passes) et Romana Hejdova (17 points, 4 passes). Pour Bintou Marizy Dieme qui a tout essayé (20 points, 5 passes), cette défaite est amère.

Les co-équipières de Géraldine Robert (16 points, en image) de Villeneuve d'Ascq avec Virginie Bremont (8 points, 7 passes, 2 interceptions), Johanne Gomis (10 points, 4 passes) et Megan Mahoney (4 points, 4 passes) s'imposent contre Lattes Montpellier (83-62). Elles ont aussi 6 passes décisives de plus, 24 contre 18. Mistie Bass n'a rien à se reprocher avec 18 points, 3 passes et 1 interception.

Elles ont cru, les joueuses de COB Calais, mais dans les dernières minutes et dû à une maladresse au tir prime, elles succombent (67-73) contre Basket Landes. Les perdantes sont les co-équipières de Onayssa Sbahi (6 points, 4 passes), Jennie Fouasseau (15 points, 1 passe), Marie-Berundette Mbuyamba-Tshimango (6 points, 1 passe) et doivent maintenant se remobiliser pour leur prochaine journée.

Les Landaises, emmenées par Carmen Guzman (8 points, 5 passes), Alexia Plagnard et Julie Barennes avec 10 points chacune, se sont donc sauvées avec une cinquième victoire.

Elles waltzent à nouveau. Tango Bourges Basket s'imposent facilement (80-49) contre Métropole Toulouse avec aussi 23 passes décisives contre 8 des Toulousaines. Les meilleures marqueses de Bourges sont Danielle Adams (19 points, 2 passes) et Johannah Leedham (18 points, 3 passes), épaulées par Diandra Tchatchouang, Romane Bernies et Paoline Salagnac avec 5 passes décisives chacune.

Miranda Ayim (16 points, 1 passes) et Olivia Epoupa (7 points, 5 passes, 5 interceptions) n'ont pas pu stopper leur adversaire.

Saint-Amand Hainaut Basket gagne à domicile (76-66) contre US Mondeville et également avec 23 passes contre 12.

Shona Louise Thorburn (6 points, 10 passes) et ses co-équipières Astou Traore (17 points, 2 passes) et Paulina Akonga-Nsimbo (18 points, 1 passe) savourent la victoire. En vain sont les efforts de K. B. Sharp (7 points, 7 passes) et Courtney Hurt (26 points, 15 rebonds, 1 passe, 1 interception).

14 passes décisives pour Arras et une victoire (64-59) contre Tarbes Gesperre (3 passes décisives en total) laissent jubiler Michelle Plouffe (17 points, 10 rebonds, 4 passes). Kalis Loyd (16 points, 3 rebonds, 1 passe, 7 interceptions) échoue avec son équipe sans inspiration.

Nantes-Rezé perd Isis Arrondo après juste une minute de jeu et aussi sa rencontre contre Charleville-Mézières (50-67). Yacine Sene et Amel Bouderra contribuent 6 et 5 passes décisives pour l'équipe gagnante qui totalise 21 passes contre 14 des Déferlantes.
