REG forced 23 Inspired Gen. turnovers and outrebounded them 48-36 including 21 on the offensive glass. REG looked well-organized offensively handing out 35 assists comparing to just 12 passes made by Inspired Gen.'s players. DR Congolese forward Frank Betoudji (201-1998) stepped up with a double-double by scoring 24 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists for the winners and the former international Prince Muhizi (200-1996) chipped in 26 points and 6 rebounds.

Very significant was EAU's 15-point road victory against UGB 78-63.

Center Eric Kayondo came up with a double-double by scoring 24 points and 10 rebounds for UGB in the defeat. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Both teams do not play next round, which will be an opportunity for some rest.
