Basket Sijsele beat BC Sprimont 82–71 behind J'Nathan Bullock's 27
Basket Sijsele's unbeaten run continues in Group B, but BC Sprimont's came to an end. The hosts held on for an 82–71 win, their sixth straight victory and second in the Top Division Men 2 campaign, while Sprimont tasted defeat for the first time this season after five consecutive wins. Sijsele built the match on a dominant second quarter. After winning the opening frame 22–18, they outscored Sprimont 28–13 in the second to reach half-time up by 19 at 50–31. A 10–0 run midway through the first had already signalled their intent, and they stretched that lead to as much as 19 with 01:35 left in the second before the interval. Sprimont mounted a third-quarter response, winning that frame 25–16 to cut the gap to 10 by the final break. But Sijsele held firm down the stretch, edging the fourth quarter 16–15 to seal it. J'Nathan Bullock anchored Sijsele with a double-double of 27 points and 15 rebounds on 8/16 shooting, while Thomas Delaplace contributed 16 points on efficient 4/5 three-point shooting. For Sprimont, Pierrick Van Den Brule posted 14 points and 10 rebounds, and Jérome Giebens added 14 points, but neither could tilt the balance. Sijsele host Ninane Promotion this Saturday; Sprimont travel to AB InBev Leuven Bears B the same day.
