AS Soleuvre B overpowered BBC Dikrich 97-67 in Zolwer, controlling the game from the outset and sweeping the season series 2-0 (80-75 away, then this home win). Hervé Marie-Rose's side broke the game open in the first quarter: after Amar Sijaric opened with 4/4 at the line for DIE, Soleuvre answered with a 9-0 burst to 21-8, fuelled by back-to-back threes from Mathys Ntemo (19) and a triple by Sandro Romao Sanches Gomes Barros. Ntemo then strung together six straight points for 29-12. By halftime it was 58-33, and the gap peaked at +35 (77-42) late in the third.
Soleuvre's scoring profile was balanced and efficient: 60 points from 2s, 30 from 3s and 7 at the line. They dropped 10 triples, including key third-quarter threes by Rainjay Maturan and Julien Kuhn to reassert control after the break. Dikrich, by contrast, managed just three threes but lived at the stripe (16 points), particularly through Sijaric.
Within the local core, Sanches Gomes Barros (22 pts) and Ntemo (21) set the tone, while the other contributors added punch: Luca Ippolito (20) scored nine field goals inside for 18, and Kuhn hit two threes. Captain Carlos Jordy Borges (24, NLD) chipped in 9. Ibrahim Hasic (8) absorbed an unsportsmanlike foul (U2) at 44-28, but SOLB immediately replied with a three and never ceded momentum.
For Dikrich, Leonardo André Neves (19, PRT) led with 21, Sijaric added 17 (including the first six DIE points), and Justin Tram had 11. Joel Leite Delgado (6) and Ruben Pereira Rodrigues (4) rounded out the scoring.
Endrit Shala's timeouts in both halves couldn't stem Soleuvre's runs, and although DIE closed the fourth 25-20, the gap was long decided. In the standings, SOLB sit fifth in a congested pack, while DIE remain seventh.
