AB InBev Leuven Bears hold off Oxaco BBC 91–90 in a nail-biter behind Tim Bollen's 28
AB InBev Leuven Bears B held on for a one-point win over Oxaco BBC in overtime — 91–90 — in a Group B matchup that swung violently across four quarters and into extra time. The Bears B led by as many as 23 points midway through the second quarter at 44–21, but a complete collapse in the fourth let Oxaco back in: a 20-0 run between the middle of that quarter had the score at 85–82, and the game stayed within one possession until the final buzzer sent it to OT. Oxaco clawed back with 27 points in the third to cut the deficit to 13, then outscored Leuven 32–19 in the fourth to level at 85–85. Tim Bollen and Eise van Wayenburg kept the Bears B alive when it mattered most. Bollen finished 28 PTS on 7/16 shooting with a hot 7-for-15 night from three and 7/8 at the line, while van Wayenburg added 24 PTS, 10 REB on 8/14 from the field and 7/12 from the stripe (double-double). For Oxaco, Awan Van Mechelen posted 17 PTS, 8 REB on 6/9 twos and a perfect 1/1 from three, and Brent Meeusen chipped in 16 PTS, 8 REB, 3 AST on 7/11 shooting. The loss drops Oxaco to 3–6 in Group B; they host Royal Castors Braine on Saturday. Leuven improve to 4–6 and travel to Royal Waterloo Basket on Sunday.
