🏀 Final: Basics Melsele-Beveren 91–72 Bavi Vilvoorde. Top: Milo Hautekeet 20 PTS.


Jens Bouckaert made his mark on 't wit zand with 18 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in 27 minutes as Basics Melsele-Beveren dismantled Bavi Vilvoorde 91–72. The forward shot 7-for-13 from the field and connected on four three-pointers, doing his work on both ends without fouling out despite the physical nature of the matchup. The 19-point margin tells the real story: Basics Melsele-Beveren never let Vilvoorde into the game. Bouckaert's rebounding and interior presence anchored a defensive effort that kept the visitors off balance, and his perimeter shooting—4 of 7 from distance—stretched Vilvoorde's defence thin. He turned the ball over twice and picked up three fouls, the minor blemishes in an otherwise controlled outing. For Basics Melsele-Beveren, the depth of this victory rested on more than one player, but Bouckaert's balance on the glass and floor set the tone. Vilvoorde faces the harder questions heading into their next fixture.

Jilan Lamrini steered Bavi Vilvoorde to a clean 67–56 road win over Avanti Brugge 2015 with 18 points, 3 assists and a sharp shooting night: 5/10 from the floor, 4/8 from three and 4/6 at the line in just 20 minutes of work. The spacing and decision-making mattered in an 11-point margin that never quite tightened. Lamrini's three-point touch—50% on eight attempts—gave Bavi's attack the floor-stretching rhythm it needed when Avanti's defence was at its tightest. One rebound and no steals speak to a performance shaped entirely by offensive creation rather than secondary playmaking, yet the 2:1 assist-to-turnover ratio kept the ball moving. For Bavi, the away scalp in the Top Division's regular season grind is the kind of wire-to-wire control that compounds over a long schedule.
Bavi Vilvoorde's second-quarter surge proved too much for Avanti Brugge 2015 to fully overcome. A 14-0 run midway through the second quarter carried Vilvoorde to a 20-point lead — their largest of the night — by the quarter's close, leaving them up 42-24 at the break. Avanti Brugge 2015 responded with a sharper third quarter, outscoring Vilvoorde 19-7 to cut it to 43-49, but couldn't finish the job. The fourth quarter saw Vilvoorde hold ground, winning the period 18-13 to secure an 11-point victory. Jilan Lamrini led Vilvoorde's attack with 18 points on efficient 5/10 shooting, including 4/8 from three. Lenny Coppens added 16 points on 6/9 from the field, 3/5 from distance. Gil Dieltiens paced Avanti Brugge 2015 with 15 points, 8 rebounds and 3 steals, though he managed just 5/18 shooting; Jules Robijns chipped in a double-double of 12 points and 11 rebounds. Avanti Brugge 2015 host Neufchâteau on Saturday 12 September, looking to bounce back at home.

Rune Ponsaers carried St.-Truidense on the boards through a losing effort against Bavi Vilvoorde, pulling down 17 rebounds across 38 minutes — a statement of effort that could not overcome a six-point defeat in the Beker van België group stage. The 13 points came on 4-of-11 shooting, with a perfect 4-for-4 night from the free-throw line. Ponsaers added 2 assists and 1 block, though 2 turnovers and 3 fouls were the tax of his heavy workload. At the other end of the floor, Bavi Vilvoorde's firepower proved decisive as St.-Truidense fell 82–76 at home. The rebounding battle was Ponsaers's domain — 17 boards is the kind of glass work that keeps possessions alive — but it was not enough to generate the scoring his side needed. St.-Truidense's group stage campaign ends here, and a six-point loss underlines how narrow the margin was between progression and exit in a competition that demanded both consistency and punch.

Spirou Basket Charleroi B pulled clear in the group stage with a 12-point win over Bavi Vilvoorde, the margin reflecting how decisively they controlled the opening quarter and held firm down the stretch. Charleroi B set the tone early, racing to 26–10 after one. Vilvoorde stayed competitive through the second, both teams posting 16 points in that frame, but Charleroi B held a 42–26 lead at half-time. The third quarter tightened—Vilvoorde outscored them 16–13—yet Charleroi B's buffer held at 55–42 entering the fourth. A late rally from Vilvoorde (25 to Charleroi B's 24 in the final frame) wasn't enough to bridge the gap. Bronne Noa led Charleroi B with 17 PTS on 5/10 shooting, adding 4 REB, 3 AST and a spotless 5/5 from the line. Mohammed Tlarhi contributed 16 PTS on efficient 7/12 work, while Baptiste Seny grabbed 11 PTS and 6 REB.

Max Vandriessche did what he could: 13 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists in 34 minutes, shooting 6 of 9 from the floor as BC Guco Lier B's most reliable option in Group Stage play. But it was not enough to overcome a 20-point road defeat to Bavi Vilvoorde in the Beker van België. Lier B trailed by 20 at the final whistle, 66–86. Vandriessche's efficiency—he went 0 for 2 from three and 1 of 2 at the line—kept the score respectable in stretches, yet the gulf widened steadily. A double-double on solid field-goal percentage does not move the needle when the margin gets that wide; it is a consolation in a game that slipped away. The loss ends BC Guco Lier B's campaign. Vandriessche's work inside the paint kept them competitive for stretches, but Bavi Vilvoorde's depth and control were too much to overcome on the road. For Lier, it is a finish to digest and build from.
Bavi Vilvoorde moved past BC Guco Lier B with a 20-point margin in the Beker van België, a straightforward win built on a second-half takeover that turned a one-point halftime deficit into command. Lier B led 25–20 after the first quarter and held a 39–37 halftime edge, but Vilvoorde's third quarter was decisive. A 22–12 run flipped the script, and a dominant fourth — 27 points to Lier B's 15 — put the result beyond reach at 86–66. Ruben Fofana led Vilvoorde with 17 points on a near-perfect 6/6 from the field and 5/6 free throws. Ofili Victor added 14 on 7/9 shooting, while Cuyvers Victor chipped in 15 with 5 rebounds. For Lier B, Max Vandriessche posted a double-double of 13 points and 10 rebounds, and Max Bulens contributed 13 points, but their group-stage campaign ends here with no further fixtures ahead.
