Strasbourg was eliminated from the Basketball Champions League (BCL) by losing Tuesday in Bonn (83-77) in a support match. The SIG had to win in Germany to reach the last four of this European Cup, lower level than the Euroleague but comparable to that of the Eurocup.
Without their best player Marcus Keene, the SIG players have not demerited and come out with honors. The Alsatians resisted and even led 65-63 at the end of the third quarter.Americans Tim Frazier (20 pts) and DeAndre Lansdowne (17 pts) kept hope alive.
