Dijon's recent defeat

The Dijon team suffered their first loss of the season in the Betclic ÉLITE league on Friday, falling to Nancy 94-108 at home. The defeat has left the team with little time to reflect before their next challenge.

Focus on Coupe de France

Dijon will face Limoges CSP in the Coupe de France just four days later. The match is set for Tuesday at 20:00 at the Palais des Sports, marking the third round of the competition.

Coach's reaction to the loss

Coach Vincent Dumestre expressed disappointment with the loss to Nancy, emphasizing that allowing the opponent to score 108 points at home is unacceptable. He is now focused on a strong defensive performance in the upcoming match.

Expecting a strong response

Dumestre hopes the team will show an immediate reaction against Limoges, a team they previously defeated. He believes the match offers a chance to regain the form seen in their first five games of the season.

Injuries and uncertainties

The Dijon team may be without several key players. Point guard Justin Bibbins is uncertain to play after a sprain, and center Kregor Hermet is also in doubt due to injury and illness.

Limoges' challenges

Limoges CSP is also dealing with injuries, missing several key players. This has forced the team to rely on younger players like the Masdieu-Reynaert brothers. The match will be their only elite-level game in the 16th finals before the next round.
