Bourges are looking mighty powerful this season. They got some quality reinforcements during the summer and this gave them a wider bench. Last year their biggest problem was the bench and they would lose out on productivity when the starters sat on the bench. Their defense will be even better due to great players they have. Everyone will have a hard time scoring against them in France. With Dumerc and Leedham in frontcourt, their offense will always score more than enough. Schio lost two starters and the best players in the team. It will be almost impossible to replace Lavender's offensive contribution as the attack often revolved around her. She did great in both offensive and defensive rebounds. McCray did her job as the second offensive outlet. Anderson was the only real reinforcement and she will be under a lot of pressure, especially against teams like these that don't give you an inch of space. Bourges is the third team in Europe, they've got good reinforcements and I don't see how the Italian team could do something here. This should end in a double-digit points difference.
