Musel Pikes overpowered Bascharage Hedgehogs 103-52 in stadtbredimus, dictating the pace from the opening tip. Coach Filipe Abreu de Sousa's team opened on a 19-0 burst Tom Welter (MUS), Gilles Kerschen (MUS) and Sam Streef (MUS) all on target, with Streef drilling two early threes before Aziz Ndiaye (29, 2.03m, SEN) finally got BAS on the board. It was 32-8 after 10 minutes.
In the second quarter Marko Mustafic (MUS) hit back-to-back triples to stretch the gap to 46-10, and Musel maintained control to the break, 51-26, despite a strong answer from Bascharage's Fabien Vandler (BAS), who poured in seven consecutive points (3, 2, 2) late in the half.
After the interval, Musel immediately re-asserted itself: following a BAS free throw, Colin Schanen (MUS) splashed two threes around a Jaylen Key (28, 2.01m, USA) triple for a 9-0 run to 60-27, and the margin kept growing. Ndiaye produced inside for BAS and Veljko Dragasevic (BAS) added a three, but the hosts had answers across the lineup.
In the fourth, Luca Monteiro Delgado (MUS) pushed the total to triple digits and Jason Hartz (MUS) closed with a three for the final 103-52, Musel's largest lead of the night (+51).
