Royal Nivelles Basketball never gave Andenne a chance. From the opening tip, the visitors controlled the game entirely—leading wire-to-wire and pulling away methodically to coast to a 74-47 victory in Group A play. Andenne trailed 13-19 after the first quarter, but the damage came midway through that opening period when Royal Nivelles Basketball ripped off a 13-0 run to seize control at 5-19. The lead only widened from there. By halftime, Andenne had managed just 23 points against Royal Nivelles Basketball's 38, a 15-point deficit that forecast the final margin. A 12-12 third quarter kept Andenne's deficit steady at 15 heading into the fourth, but Royal Nivelles Basketball simply opened up in the final frame, outscoring Andenne 24-12 to reach a 27-point advantage with 32 seconds remaining. Axel Bizet was the principal architect, dropping 27 points on 9/14 shooting, including 4-of-7 from three, while adding 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Cyril Bataille chipped in 10 points and Romain Bronchaert 8 as Royal Nivelles Basketball's offense moved cleanly. Gabriel Gnekpe led Andenne with 13 points on efficient 5-6 shooting, but it was a solo effort in an otherwise subdued night; Jimmy Stas added 10 points and Alexandre Eyenga 6. Andenne host St-Niklase Condors on Saturday, 12 September, looking to respond. Royal Nivelles Basketball visit Phantoms Basket Boom the same day.
