Gréngewald Hueschtert controlled Black Frogs Schieren 88-67 in Oberanven, flipping the season series after the 94-89 loss in Schieren. The game grew steadily in the hosts' favor: 17-13 after the first quarter, 43-34 at halftime, then a decisive 26-12 third quarter for a 69-46 margin the highest lead reached 23 late in the third.
The key split came inside the arc and in ball security. Gréngewald shot a good 61% on two-pointers (31/51) and won the turnover battle 11 to 22, fueled by 13 steals. FRO answered with a good 50% on twos (17/34) but struggled from distance (25% 3P, 6/24) and could not offset the giveaways. Free throws were a mixed picture: FRO at 68% (15/22), GRE just 33% (2/6).
Aidan Reichert (22, 1.97m, USA) set the tone with 28 points, 11 rebounds and 7 assists, repeatedly puncturing the lane in the third quarter and adding a late technical that did not alter the outcome. Max Frederik Hessz (Season PPG: 11.18, RPG: 1.88, AssPG: 2.00) hit four threes and finished with 18, while Patrick Hoffmann (Season PPG: 6.08, RPG: 2.56, AssPG: 0.89) added 13, including a late triple. Dayne Prim (Season PPG: 22.00, RPG: 10.55, AssPG: 2.67) had 14 and a third-quarter three before fouling out in the fourth; his early T yielded a point, but Ricky Easterling's group kept control.
For FRO, Eric Anderson (26, 2.00m, USA) delivered 27 points, 12 rebounds and 2 blocks, including 3/3 from deep. Khyree Armstead (Season PPG: 16.64, RPG: 8.11, AssPG: 3.89) scored 12, while Alexandre Pereira Meireles (Season PPG: 7.42, RPG: 5.18, AssPG: 2.36) had 8. Gabriel Solomon went 6/6 at the line and strung three free throws in a row early in the fourth. Early in the game, Laurent Majerus picked up two fouls in quick succession, a brief wrinkle the hosts navigated.
In the standings, GRE climb to 4th (+2) and extend their run to seven straight wins. FRO sit 5th and are now on a three-game slide. Nigel Tolentino's timeouts in the first half stemmed momentum briefly, but the third-quarter surge proved decisive.
