Robin Malpas delivered 18 points on efficient shooting as RBC Pepinster East Belgium held off BC Asse-Ternat 79–69 at home in Group B play. The forward made 6 of 13 from the field and a crisp 5 of 6 from the line, adding four rebounds and a steal across 28 minutes to anchor a 10-point victory. Malpas's marksmanship—particularly his reliability at the free-throw line—proved the difference when RBC Pepinster East Belgium needed to close out the second half. His accuracy from distance (1/2 from three) kept the offense flowing without forcing shots; a single turnover underscores a composed performance in traffic. BC Asse-Ternat kept pace early but couldn't find the offensive consistency to mount a real threat down the stretch. The 10-point margin reflects RBC Pepinster East Belgium's control rather than any collapse from their visitors.
