An opportunity for a fresh start in the United States
After terminating his contract with Tours in February, Ethane Bourgade quickly sought a new challenge. During his 16 appearances in Nationale 1 (3.5 points, 2.4 rebounds, 0.6 assists), the former Le Mans youth academy player failed to establish himself in the Tours roster.
The former Charenton and Levallois player will now write a new chapter at Bryant University in NCAA Division I. The Bulldogs are coming off a season marked by a March Madness qualification, though it ended in the first round against Michigan State (87-62), despite 21 points from their leader Rafael Pizon, who played his final college game on that occasion.
