SCABB Dominates Rennes, Secures Second Place
SCABB asserted their dominance with a commanding 91-72 victory over Rennes, solidifying their hold on second place in Group B. The visitors established control by halftime, leading 43-30, and then delivered a decisive blow in the third quarter, outscoring Rennes 28-17 to enter the final period with a formidable 71-47 advantage. This performance was fuelled by exceptional shooting efficiency, as SCABB connected on 57% of their field goals (32/56), including 12 three-pointers at a 41% clip, and a potent bench that contributed 36 points to Rennes' meagre 12. Narcisse Tea Kuyo was a force with 8 points, 11 rebounds, 4 steals, and 3 blocks, complemented by Kameronn Selebangue's 18 points and 8 assists. Despite Hugo Kamdem's 23 points, Rennes struggled offensively, shooting just 37% from the floor, and were outrebounded significantly (33-47). This loss sees Rennes drop to fifth in the standings, creating a tight cluster of teams vying for playoff spots.
