BC Mess imposed its rhythm from the tip in Walfer, winning 84-58 and controlling the game evolution quarter after quarter (12-22, 12-17, 16-25, 18-20). Fabio Freymann opened with back-to-back baskets for 0-4, and with Nils Muller's steady scoring, MES built a 12-22 lead after 10 minutes. In the second quarter, Coach Fernand Musquar's team found another gear with a 10-2 burst that pushed the gap to 24-39 at halftime.
The third period decided it: Freymann strung together seven consecutive points early in the quarter and Muller added a three as the lead ballooned to a game-high +27 (37-64). Résidence's best spell came at the start of the fourth, when Coach Steve Stéphane Alexandre's group fired a 10-0 run to trim it to 50-64 sparked by a Gael Dos Santos Antonio triple but MES answered immediately and closed it out without drama.
The numbers underline MES's plan: 35 made two-pointers for 70 points inside, against 16 twos (32 points) for RES. Both teams hit eight free throws, while RES had the edge from deep (six threes to MES's two). Muller (Season PPG: 19.38) led all scorers with 27, Freymann (Season PPG: 18.75) added 24, with support from Noa Priso Dikoume (13, FRA) on 11 and Louis Clemes (Season PPG: 9.63) on 8. For Résidence, Gael Dos Santos Antonio (13, BEL; Season PPG: 15.38) poured in 23 with four triples, Joaquym Branyan Questier (Season PPG: 8.63) had 15, and Robert Nicula (Season PPG: 8.63) chipped in 12. Dos Santos Antonio played through four fouls to keep RES afloat; Damian Oliver Schuller committed two quick fouls in the last quarter.
In the standings, BC Mess climbs to 1st (+1) at 3-0 and extends its winning streak to seven. Résidence remains 6th at 0-3, now on five consecutive losses.
