The regular season started with a number of games in the traditional Saturday night timeslot. Alexis Peterson looks to lead Angers again, but Lattes Montpellier left with a 70-64 win. Bourges started their title defense with an 84-68 win over Roche. Oderah Chidom had a fantastic debut for Saint-Amand to lead them past Brianna Fraser and Charleville-Mezieres 76-73. Newly-promoted Toulouse is projected to struggle, but that did not look to be the case in the opener when they recorded an impressive 81-69 win over Regan Magarity and Landes. Both teams were playing their first competitive games as Tarbes managed to grind out a 54-49 win over Landerneau. The Sunday game was a good one with Janelle Salaun playing well for Villeneuve-d’Ascq, but Lyon still left with the 76-72 win.
