Anosike dominates, Le Portel upsets second-seeded Pau at home

ESSM Le Portel earned a much-needed victory in a 75-69 win versus second-place team Pau-Lacq-Orthez. O.D. Anosike was the MVP of the game – leading the team with 18 points, 13 rebounds, 2 assists, and 3 steals.

“This was the epitome of a team win” said Anosike. “It was a game where we knew that all of our guys would have to be at their best in order to beat a team of Pau’s caliber. We prepared ourselves for the game throughout the week and we’re glad to see that our hard work didn’t go in vain. God willing, this will be the type of win that pushes us in the right direction down the stretch of the season”.

Anosike has been solid in his first full campaign in the French Jeep Elite ProA league, averaging 10.4 points and 8 rebounds – which is good for top 5 in the league. Anosike has also picked up his play as of late, as he completed his second consecutive double-double with his last performance. Le Portel returns to action on March 22 in a home battle against Boulazac.
