The French League is now on break until February. While things are looking good for Bourges and Tarbes. There is trouble at Union Basket and by all accounts at Villeneuve d'Ascq.
Some players have been suspended by clubs. The next few days will be interesting.
Anyway you can catch a summary of the final round up before Christmas

Thank you both for all the updates.
How many teams make the French league playoffs?

The play-off is complicated.
Only the top 4 play-off for the championship title (Best of three)
Teams that finish (5-12) play-off for a spot in the EuroCup.
The teams that finish 13 and 14 are relegated.
The only reason Tarbes are in the EuroCup this year is because they won the play-off (5-12).
Camino is playing at Aix-en-Provence

| Thanks, eurobasket. That's a lot of teams that miss out on the playoffs (although in reality I guess it is a 2 horse race anyway ... no one else seems to be close to Bourges & Tarbes)

Actually the break is only for one month because the first round of the French cup is scheduled for Jan 24.
The only reason for the break is because of the Eurobasket qualifiers for the first three weeks of January.

C'mon architecture, p_diddy_swanson has been posting these threads every single week.
Grima has been having herself a very nice season so far. Camino has been a little less consistent, unfortunately. I was hoping for better. Getting herself to Sacramento and taking advantage of a quality coach would be the smartest thing she could do this year. Hope she makes a resolution of it.
I enjoy your music, btw.
