Mambra Mamer overpowered BBC Dikrich 93-57 in the Coupe de l'Avenir 1/16 finals in Diekirch, controlling the game from the opening tip. Arnaud Stirn's team opened on a 10-1 burst and closed the first quarter up 22-10. They kept the pressure in the second period behind relentless rim attacks to reach halftime at 46-24, and never let the margin drop after the break, extending the lead to a game-high 36 by the buzzer.
Mamer did most of their damage inside and barely needed the three-ball. Ivan Vasiljevic poured in 26 points (12 made 2FG, 2 FT), while Nathan Ryan Coombes added 25 (11 made 2FG, one three) and hit a late triple to seal it. Ethan Martins scored 15 and was active early at the line, and Arda Selim Isiklar (10) jump-started MAM with four quick points (FT + three). Luka Boskovic chipped in 9 including a third-quarter three, and captain Nicolas Bos (15, BEL) had 8.
For Dikrich, captain Farih Nurkovic delivered a standout 29, built on 11 made 2FG and steady free throws. He authored a personal 6-0 run early in the fourth quarter, stringing together a series of points from the stripe and the lane as MAM piled up fouls. Michele Laforgia (12, ITA) and Gustavo Alexandre Ferreira Rebelo (15, PRT) each netted 10, while Braima Djau scored 4. Dikrich did not connect from beyond the arc.
Key moments reflected the game's evolution: Mamer's 10-1 start set the tone; a dominant second quarter stretched the cushion; a third-quarter three from Boskovic kept momentum; and Coombes and Vasiljevic repeatedly finished in transition and in the paint. Early in the fourth, consecutive personal fouls by Coombes helped send Nurkovic to the line for that individual run, but the gap remained secure. No player fouled out. Coaches: Arnaud Stirn (MAM) and Edson Monteiro Neves (DIE). Mamer advances to the 1/8 finals.
