ASVEL, coached by Pierrico Poupet, faced a disappointing end in the cup quarterfinals, suffering a 82:93 defeat to Cholet Basket, a team that previously competed in the FIBA Champions League. The match showcased strong performances with DeAndre Gholston leading the charge for Cholet Basket with 28 points, demonstrating a high shooting accuracy. Other contributors included Gerald Ayayi with 15 points, while ASVEL's Thomas Heurtel attempted to salvage the match with 20 points, but ultimately, it was not enough to prevent the loss.

Adding context to the game, ASVEL's performance in the Euroleague this season has been underwhelming, placing them at the bottom of the league standings with only 7 wins out of 28 games played. This loss further emphasizes their struggles in maintaining competitive form, as they find themselves unable to secure crucial victories in high-stakes matches. The defeat against Cholet Basket represents not just an end to their cup run but also highlights the ongoing challenges the team faces in regaining its footing in European basketball.

The recent form of ASVEL raises questions about the team's strategies and leadership moving forward. Their exit from the cup comes after recent performances that have shown potential but ultimately lack the consistency needed to compete at higher levels. As ASVEL looks ahead, they will need to reassess their strategies to improve their standings both in the domestic league and on the European stage, particularly if they hope to rebound from this disappointing season.
