Hasselt BT beat Andenne 76–67 behind Kyrylo Meshcheriakov's 23
Hasselt BT edged out Andenne 76–67 after overtime in a back-and-forth affair that needed an extra period to settle. The Group A matchup swung 12 times and saw both sides trade the lead repeatedly, but Hasselt's superior depth in the fourth quarter and decisive 12–3 run in overtime proved the difference on the night. Andenne held a one-point edge at the half (32–31) and remained ahead after three quarters (46–45), but Hasselt found their rhythm when it mattered most. A 7–0 fourth-quarter run midway through the period shifted momentum decisively, and when regulation ended level at 64–64, Hasselt's composure carried into the extra frame. Andenne managed just three points in overtime as Hasselt pulled away. Kyrylo Meshcheriakov led Hasselt with 23 points on sharp shooting (6/9 twos, 2/3 from three, 9/10 free throws) to go with 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Wouter Screurs added 15 points and 7 rebounds, while Daan Bijnens chipped in 9 points. For Andenne, Raphael Muth's 15 points (6/11) and Jimmy Stas's 13 (including 3/4 from three) kept them in contention, but the bench scoring dried up when it counted. The result extends Hasselt's streak to four straight wins, improving them to 6–1 in the group. Andenne drop to 1–5 and face a fourth consecutive defeat. Hasselt travel to face Basket Tongeren on Saturday.
