Musel Pikes were in control very early in this M-Coupe de l'Avenir quarterfinal, winning 105-64 in Bascharage. Daniel Fernandes Sousa's team set the tone with a 6-0 start, then after Bascharage had trimmed the gap to 8-10, Musel went on a decisive 20-3 run to close the first quarter at 30-11.
The second period removed the suspense. Musel kept attacking the paint and stretched the margin from 30-11 to 38-11, then continued to score steadily to reach 64-20 at halftime. That 44-point gap was the game's highest lead. The away side finished with only 2 points from the foul line and 9 from three, but an overwhelming 94 points on two-point baskets, which shows how much damage they did inside.
Jaden El Basri (15, FRA) led Musel with 31 points and was already on a roll in the first half, while Raphaël Siebenaler (16) added 29, including a strong scoring burst from late in the first quarter into the second. Ben Matthias Schenk (16, DEU) gave Musel 19 points, and Elija Schanen Sar (15) added 8. Musel had five scorers between 6 and 31 points and kept pressure on Bascharage throughout.
William Jacques Guenfissi's team reacted better after the break. Bascharage edged the third quarter 15-14 and scored 29 points in the fourth, with Viktor Pecirep (15) leading them on 18 points. Samuel Louis Hobby (15) added 12, while Tom Kruchten (15) and Ilija Radojevic (15, SRB) each scored 10. Gabriel Da Cunha Martins (15, PRT) contributed 6, all from long range, as Bascharage finished with four players in double figures.
