The men's Coupe de France basketball tournament resumes on Monday evening, with Boulogne Côte d'Opale Basketball hosting STB Le Havre in the second round. Boulogne comes from the NM1 division, while Le Havre is from the ELITE 2 division. Boulogne will start the match with a seven-point advantage, which they will aim to maintain to continue their journey and achieve qualification against a team from a higher level. In the first round, Boulogne had defeated Val de Seine with a score of 81-63. Meanwhile, Le Havre had to fight until the end to eliminate another ELITE 2 team, Rouen Métropole Basket, with a score of 74-73. This match is the only one scheduled for Monday. It will open a second round composed of 15 matches spread over five dates, up to November 1. Several matches featuring exclusively NM1 teams will take place starting on Tuesday, October 6. Three confrontations will directly oppose teams from NM1: LyonSO will host Besançon, Rennes will receive Fougères, and Berck will face Orchies. In these matches between teams of the same level, no handicap will be applied. Other NM1 teams will attempt to defeat opponents from higher divisions. Tarbes-Lourdes will host Élan Béarnais Pau-Lacq-Orthez, a team from Betclic ELITE, with a 14-point advantage at the start. Challans will benefit from the same advantage against Boulazac. Tours will start with a seven-point advantage on the court of Blois, while Angers will also have a seven-point advantage against Caen. However, not all clubs will play this week. Toulouse will have to wait until Tuesday, October 13, to host Limoges CSP. Again, the Toulouse team will benefit from a 14-point advantage against a Betclic ELITE team.
