At Oberanven/Central, Gréngewald Hueschtert routed Nitia Bettembourg 115-44 (28-8, 29-17, 36-3, 22-16), the gap peaking at 71. After briefly trailing 2-3, Gréngewald detonated a 19-0 run in the first quarter, forcing an early timeout, and never looked back. Just before halftime, Aidan Reichert (USA, 1.97m, 23; Season PPG: 27.33, RPG: 11.22, AssPG: 3.33) poured in 11 straight points to send the hosts to 57-25 at the break. The third quarter was decisive: Gréngewald produced a 17-0 surge, conceded a lone basket, then closed the period with a further 19-0 blast for a 36-3 frame.
Ricky Easterling's team moved the ball and swarmed: 35 assists, 27 steals and a 59-38 rebounding advantage, while forcing 41 Nitia turnovers. Shooting told the same story: Gréngewald posted good numbers at the line (10/13, 77%) and inside the arc (42/66, 64%) though struggled from three (7/36, 19%). Nitia laboured across the board (FT 3/10, 30%; 2P 10/39, 26%; 3P 7/28, 25%).
Dayne Prim (USA, 1.95m, 24; Season PPG: 26.33, RPG: 14.00, AssPG: 5.22) was MVP with 21 points, 13 rebounds, 7 assists, 6 steals and zero turnovers. Reichert added 28 (12/17 2P). Max Frederik Hessz (Season PPG: 12.07, RPG: 1.79, AssPG: 1.79) hit two triples for 11, and Sam Urwald (Season PPG: 3.50, RPG: 3.27, AssPG: 0.55) chipped in 9 with five offensive boards.
For Nitia, among the local core Jérôme Bous (Season PPG: 5.13, RPG: 3.41, AssPG: 0.69) led with 12 on 4/12 from deep; Noah Horsmans (Season PPG: 3.20, RPG: 4.31, AssPG: 0.44) had 6 and Owen Chen (Season PPG: 4.30, RPG: 2.11, AssPG: 0.72) added 4. Their lone import, Badara Faye (Season PPG: 6.38, RPG: 4.08, AssPG: 0.58), scored 5 and fouled out in the fourth after a quick succession of fouls.
Bradley Melton's side had recently ended a long skid with a win but could not sustain it here. Gréngewald, fielding two professionals to Nitia's none, extended its winning run to 11 games.
