Basket Sijsele beat Royal Nivelles Basketball 63–57 behind Kenneth De Vos's 21
Basket Sijsele held on in a Group Stage contest that stayed level through thirty minutes before tilting in their favour down the stretch. Royal Nivelles Basketball and Sijsele were locked at 31–31 at half-time, but a third-quarter run — Sijsele outscored their hosts 16–10 — opened up a 47–41 gap entering the final frame. Royal Nivelles Basketball clawed back with 16 points in Q4, but Sijsele matched that output to secure a 63–57 win. Kenneth De Vos led Sijsele's offence with 21 points on efficient 9/13 shooting, while J'Nathan Bullock added a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds—both pieces holding firm when Royal Nivelles Basketball pressed late. Bataille Cyril paced the hosts with 14 points on 5/9 from the floor, including 3/7 from three, but the supporting cast couldn't generate enough to overtake. A hard-fought Group Stage victory for Sijsele. Royal Nivelles Basketball travel to AB0 LDP Donza on Friday, 28 August.
