Senne Geukens carried St-Niklase Condors to a one-point road win over Basket Tongeren on 25 points in 27 minutes, shooting 9 of 14 from the floor and 4 of 7 from three. The final score read 63–62.
Geukens efficiency was the difference in a Group A contest that came down to possession. He made his looks from range—hitting four threes on solid volume—and stayed composed at the free-throw line, converting 3 of 4. The rest of his box left little margin: two rebounds, no assists, three turnovers and four fouls in a compressed playing time.
For Basket Tongeren, a one-point loss at home is the kind of result that stings. For St-Niklase Condors, it is a road win that counts. Geukens shot-making was precise enough when precision was all that mattered.

St-Niklase Condors held on by a point in a frantic finish, escaping with a 63–62 win over Basket Tongeren in Group A play.
The Condors jumped to a 20-point lead late in the first quarter, taking a 29–14 advantage into the second. Tongeren answered with a 19–9 second quarter to cut it to 33–38 at half-time, but the deficit lingered. A 12-0 run midway through the third quarter swung the momentum sharply — Tongeren clawed back from 38–49 to 47–49 — and the two sides remained locked inside the final two minutes. The fourth quarter saw both teams trade buckets (15–14 for Tongeren, 14 for St-Niklase), but the Condors held their nerve to claim the one-possession win.
Senne Geukens led the Condors with 25 points on 9/14 shooting, adding 4/7 from three. Ferre Vercammen finished 4/5 overall for 11 points, while Jean Barekiragaba went a perfect 3/3 from beyond the arc for 9 points. For Tongeren, Sam Proesmans and Gaetan Hertay each scored 16 — Hertay pulling 9 rebounds — and Giuliano Neri added 15 on efficient 4/7 shooting with 3/5 threes.
Basket Tongeren travel to Union BC Quaregnon on Sunday 20 September.
Nick Celis has carried OXACO BBC-A through recent weeks at 55.9 TIB efficiency, averaging 16.3 points and 4.3 assists. He will face a different kind of test tonight: Sam Proesmans, who has posted 19 PPG on a 37.8 rating for BASKET TONGEREN-A, operating as the primary offensive engine for his club.
The asymmetry is worth noting. Celis plays within a wider offensive structure—his assist rate reflects that—while Proesmans has borne more of the scoring load. Both are efficient by their respective team's standards, but they operate from different roles. How Tongeren's setup will pressure OXACO's ball movement, and whether Celis can create enough separation for his teammates, will shape the opening minutes.
