Basketball: in Gascony, Frontignan will have to restore its image

Le FLPB se déplace chez une équipe capable du meilleur. MIDI LIBRE – E.R.

Stéphane Olivieri's men travel to Tarbes this Saturday March 16 (8 p.m.).

After Ossun at the start of the month, Ouest-Montpellier-Basket last Saturday, the Frontignan-Lapeyradois basketball players will travel again. This time, it will be in the direction of Gascony, precisely towards the capital of the County of Bigorre.

A start to heal this time

The Tarbes reserve, defeated at Saint-Gély last week, has the same number of victories as the Muscatier group. Just a stone's throw from the leading pair composed of Ouest-Montpellier Basket and Jeunesse Sportive Cugnalaise Basket, today's opponents still have the possibility of aiming for a place of honor.

As far as Stéphane Olivieri's men are concerned, it will be important not to reproduce the catastrophic start seen during the derby in Saint-Jean-de-Védas. The fact remains that the Tarbais are great customers, they are one of the rare ones to have beaten the Montpellier residents this season (+21).
Last Saturday, they lost at Saint-Gély, too. And have certainly moved into a new phase, that of wanting to finish the exercise well.

We must raise our heads

Stéphane Olivieri knows it, it’s a long and complicated trip which comes at a high point in a season. No one doubts that spirits must be marked after a fateful setback, yet we must raise our heads and honor the jersey.
