A feat and ... Two losses to finish.
Heroic Thursday against Tenerife then eliminated in the semi-final of the Champions League by Burgos (81-70) the next day, the Strasbourg residents fell again this Sunday.
In the match for 3rd place, they were beaten by another Spanish team, Zaragoza (89-77).

But the efforts of the SIG players, once again admirable in their combativeness, were not enough.
