BC Sprimont held off a spirited Neufchâteau side to advance 103–91 in the Beker van België group stage, a 12-point margin that masked how close the Belgian Cup tie genuinely was. Sprimont built early separation, leading 30–19 after the first quarter, but Neufchâteau flipped the script in the second. A 26–19 quarter allowed the hosts to trim the deficit to four at half-time, 49–45. The momentum stayed contested through the third: Sprimont extended to 75–67 with one quarter left, yet Neufchâteau refused to fold. A 24–28 fourth quarter meant the visitors pulled clear only late, not early, finishing the job when it mattered most. Pierre Geubel led the way for Sprimont with 26 points on efficient shooting — 7 of 13 overall, 6 of 9 from three, a clean 6 of 6 from the stripe. Pierrick Van Den Brule added 20 points and 10 rebounds for the double-double. Hugo Deneve kept Neufchâteau's challenge alive with 26 points on 9 of 16, while Nicolas Sturam chipped in 24 on a sharp 9 of 12, including 4 threes. For Sprimont, a hard-fought knockout win that sends them through group play. For Neufchâteau, the campaign ends here — they exit the competition having battled to the end but fallen short.
