Sander Van Ginderachter was the difference-maker in a two-point finish. The BC Asse-Ternat forward shot 7-of-10 from the floor—including a clean 3-of-3 at the line—for 18 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and added 2 steals in 26 minutes at Sporthal Waalborre. Those numbers held up under pressure: AB InBev Leuven Bears B came within a possession late, but Van Ginderachter's efficiency and ball-security (only 3 turnovers across the game) proved decisive in a 77–75 Group B win. It was the kind of focused, low-waste display that separates narrow victories from narrow defeats in Top Division Men 2. One assist and no blocks meant Van Ginderachter stayed on his primary job—score when it's there, rebound when it matters—and left the orchestration to others. In a game decided by margins this thin, that kind of single-minded execution is exactly what gets the job done. BC Asse-Ternat moves forward with momentum. The next fixture will test whether this Group B form can hold.

Junior Bonsenge was the catalyst in B.C. L'9 Flénu-Frameries' commanding 90–61 win over AB InBev Leuven Bears B, finishing with 17 points on 7-of-10 shooting in 20 minutes. The forward's efficiency was the standout. He went 3-for-3 from the free-throw line and missed just one shot from inside the arc, building an early offensive rhythm that helped B.C. L'9 Flénu-Frameries establish control. The 29-point margin left no doubt about which side had command; Leuven offered little resistance once the hosts got rolling. Bonsenge's night was clean too—one turnover across 20 minutes of floor time, a level of care that underlined his contribution beyond the points. He did not crash the boards (2 rebounds) or orchestrate from the perimeter (1 assist), but he did not need to. Sometimes in a blowout, a player's primary job is to capitalize on the space a good team creates, and he did exactly that. B.C. L'9 Flénu-Frameries moves forward in Group B on the back of this dominant display. Leuven will be back on the road seeking a sharper showing next time out.
