Basket Waregem dismantled Basket Willebroek 110–81 at De Treffer on Sunday, delivering a one-sided statement in the Top Division. The hosts moved to a 30–20 lead after the opening quarter and never allowed Willebroek back into it, stretching their advantage to 58–39 by half-time. The third quarter saw Waregem tighten their grip further, building their margin to 19 points at 81–62. A 10-0 run midway through the fourth—from 100–81 to 110–81—put the result beyond any doubt, and the hosts coasted to the finish with a commanding 29-point victory. Matthijs Van Den Eynde led Waregem's attack with 18 points on efficient 8/13 shooting, adding 7 rebounds. Timo Casteele chipped in 17 points on 7/11, while Lars Coppejans contributed 15 points and a team-high 3-pointer count (3/6 from deep). Willebroek's Roby Rogiers was the lone bright spot for the visitors, posting 29 points on an impressive 11/13 clip with 6 rebounds and 2 assists, though his individual excellence could not offset a complete team performance gap. Waregem heads to BBC Falco Gent this Friday 9 October. Willebroek host BC Guco Lier on Saturday 10 October.
Roby Rogiers carried Basket Willebroek into enemy territory with 29 points on 11-of-13 shooting, but it was not enough to stop a 29-point rout at the hands of Basket Waregem. The final score of 110–81 tells the story: a dominant performance from one man could not mask a wider collapse. Rogiers shot with brutal efficiency, hitting 6 of 9 from the free-throw line and 1 of 1 from three, adding 6 rebounds and 2 assists in 32 minutes. On most nights, 29 points on that volume would carry a team to victory. On this one, it did not. Waregem's margin of victory — 29 points — placed the game well beyond reach by the final buzzer. Willebroek will have to regroup and move on from a loss that, despite Rogiers individual spark, amounts to a thorough defeat.
Seppe D'Espallier has been running hot for Basket Willebroek in recent weeks — 62.9 TIB Efficiency, 15 points and 3.1 assists per game — and tonight he steps into De Treffer to face Timo Casteele, who anchors Basket Waregem's offense at 38.4 efficiency with 10.7 PPG and 3.8 assists. The gap between their recent form is stark: Willebroek's lead man has been one of the division's most efficient operators, while Casteele continues to shoulder the playmaking load for his side. This matchup tells the larger story of where each team sits. Willebroek's offensive rhythm has sharpened around D'Espallier's decision-making and scoring touch. Waregem will need Casteele to match that pace and find cutters when Willebroek's defense tightens — something he has done consistently, though at a lower volume. The question is whether Waregem can generate enough secondary scoring to ease the burden on their engine. Tip-off in three hours. Catch it live and see which lead guard imposes their rhythm on the Top Division tonight.
Basket Waregem host Basket Willebroek in Top Division Men 1 action this afternoon. Seppe D'espallier has been Willebroek's primary engine this season at 15 PPG, while Waregem will lean on Cédric Blanchart, who is averaging 12.4 points. The spacing and pacing will matter here — Willebroek brings consistent scoring volume; Waregem will need to control the rhythm and limit secondary scoring if they're to keep this tight. Tip-off is at De Treffer in Waregem.
Arno Mollekens turned in a clinical 18-minute shift for Basket Willebroek, finishing with 25 points, 10 rebounds, 1 assist, 1 steal and 1 block on 11-of-13 shooting from the floor and 3 of 4 from the line. No turnovers, no fouls — a near-perfect offensive performance. Basket Willebroek dismantled United Basket Woluwe 107–81 at home in the 1/16 Finals of the Beker van België, a 26-point margin that left little doubt about the outcome from midway through. Mollekens efficiency in the paint and mid-range set the tone early, and the hosts never relented. The Beker campaign is now complete for Willebroek. This quarter-final stage exit ends their run in the cup, leaving them with a dominant home performance to reflect on and a clear measure of their depth when they need it. #BasketWillebroek #BekervanBelgië #MollekensEfficiency #BelgianBasketball #1/16Finals #CupBasketball
Arno Mollekens turned in a near-perfect evening for Basket Willebroek, posting 25 points, 10 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block across just 18 minutes in the 1/16 Finals of the Beker van België. He shot 11 of 13 from the field — a clinical 85 percent — and added 3 of 4 free throws, working with minimal turnoil (1 turnover, 0 fouls) in what became a dominant home display. Willebroek's 107–81 victory over United Basket Woluwe left little room for doubt. A 26-point margin in a knockout tie is as conclusive as domestic cup basketball gets, and Mollekens efficiency from the floor — particularly his work in the paint — was the spine of the win. He made his possessions count in a way that set the tone early and never allowed Woluwe a foothold. With that result, Basket Willebroek's cup run comes to an end. A strong individual showing from Mollekens on the night, but the deeper prize slipped away.
🏀 Final: Basket Willebroek 107–81 United Basket Woluwe. Top: Arno Mollekens 25 PTS.
Basket Willebroek hosts United Basket Woluwe in the Beker van België tonight at Sporthal de Schalk — a knockout cup tie that will demand Willebroek sharpen its perimeter defense early. Antoine Malliar is averaging 20.7 points per game for Woluwe and has the size and range to punish any lapses; Seppe D'espallier (15.4 PPG) will need to set the tone on both ends if Willebroek is to control tempo and limit second-chance opportunities. Cup basketball strips away margin for error. One slip defensively, one careless possession, and you're packing up. Watch how Willebroek's guards navigate Woluwe's pressure in the opening minutes — that tells you everything about whether this stays competitive. Tip-off is in about six hours.
Joël Ekamba-Ey'oombe finished with 18 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists and 4 steals in just 24 minutes as Basket Willebroek dominated Neufchâteau 88–72 at home in the Top Division Men 1. The wing's efficiency was unmissable: 8-of-12 from the field (1-of-2 from three) and a perfect 1-of-1 at the free throw line, with turnovers kept to a single mistake. A 16-point margin in a domestic league game is substantial, and Ekamba-Ey'oombe's perimeter defense—four steals in limited minutes—gave Willebroek meaningful control on both ends. He did not need heavy usage to shape the result; his shooting split and steal count show a player operating within the rhythm of a team that pulled away cleanly. For Neufchâteau, the loss was a clear one. Willebroek's next assignment will test whether this form holds.
🏀 Final: Basket Willebroek 88–72 Neufchâteau. Top: Terry Deroover 19 PTS.
Seppe D'Espallier has been the engine for Basket Willebroek in recent weeks — 16.2 points and 3.2 assists per game on a TIB efficiency rating of 69.9 — and tonight he meets Samuel Schadeck, who has carried Neufchâteau's attack at 17.4 PPG with a 51.9 efficiency mark. The matchup hinges on ball security and shot selection. D'Espallier's assist rate suggests a player comfortable running the offence; Schadeck is more of a volume scorer, leaning heavier on his own creation. Willebroek's depth and rhythm against Neufchâteau's reliance on one dominant perimeter threat — that is the shape of this game. Tip-off at Sporthal de Schalk in about three hours.
Hugo Deneve has been Neufchâteau's engine this season, averaging 19.2 points per game, and Basket Willebroek will need to be sharp defensively when the sides meet in the Top Division tonight. Seppe D'espallier leads Willebroek's scoring at 16.2 PPG and will be central to how the home side responds to that offensive firepower. The matchup tips off at Sporthal de Schalk with both clubs looking to assert themselves in the division. How Willebroek's perimeter defense contains Deneve, and whether D'espallier can create separation against Neufchâteau's scheme, will likely decide the margin. Tune in to watch it unfold.
Roby Rogiers ran the floor with surgical precision for Basket Willebroek on Tuesday night. The guard finished with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal-heavy 5 steals across 23 minutes, while committing zero turnovers — a clean offensive line that reflected his control of the game's tempo. Willebroek's 106–84 home win over Windrose Giants Antwerp B was never in doubt, but Rogiers efficiency sustained it. He shot 7 of 12 from the field and 3 of 4 from the line, doing damage without forcing anything. The five steals underscore a defensive engagement that few guards deliver in such volume; add three blocks and you have a two-way floor performance rarely seen in the same half-hour stretch. A 22-point margin is lopsided, and Rogiers turnover-free night suggests Willebroek's offense moved with purpose. He did not need to carry a heavy load — just facilitate and defend — and that restraint is often a sign of a team playing within itself.
🏀 Final: Basket Willebroek 106–84 Windrose Giants Antwerp B. Top: Yoeri Schoepen 25 PTS.
Yoeri Schoepen made the most of his 29 minutes, finishing with 14 points, 12 rebounds and 3 assists as Basket Willebroek dismantled BBC Croonen Lommel 97–74 at home. The forward's shooting was the quieter kind of efficient: 5 of 9 from the field, 4 of 8 from three, moving the ball when the defence sagged and cleaning the glass with authority. It was a dominant showing from the home side, and Schoepen's contribution — especially on the boards — kept the pace favourable. A 23-point margin is never accidental; Willebroek controlled the game from the start and never relented.
Basket Willebroek controlled this one from the opening whistle, never giving BBC Croonen Lommel a chance to find rhythm. The hosts led 23–15 after the first quarter and extended their advantage to 53–35 by half-time, already in firm command. The third quarter saw Croonen Lommel outscore Willebroek 20–17, but the gap remained substantial at 70–55. Any hopes of a late run evaporated when Willebroek ripped off a 13-0 run mid-way through the fourth, pushing the score to 84–59. From there, the result was never in doubt. Willebroek kept the pressure on, building a 32-point lead with 3:20 remaining before cruising to a 97–74 final margin. Roby Rogiers led the winners with 19 points on efficient 9 of 12 shooting to go with 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Terry Deroover added 17 points, connecting on 5 of 8 threes, while Yoeri Schoepen recorded a double-double of 14 points and 12 rebounds. For Croonen Lommel, Toon Ceyssens notched a team-high 21 points, though on a less efficient 8-of-20 outing. Matts De Keuster contributed 12 points and 3 steals in a losing effort. Willebroek host Windrose Giants Antwerp B on Saturday 12 September, looking to build on this dominant display.
Seppe D'espallier finished Basket Willebroek's Beker van België group-stage campaign with a 28-point, 10-rebound masterclass: 9 of 13 from the field, 6 of 9 from three, 4 for 4 at the line, plus 3 steals across 29 minutes. The 29-point road victory over Royal Waterloo Basket left no doubt about the gap between the teams. D'espallier's shooting efficiency — particularly his depth range — set the tone early and kept Royal Waterloo chasing numbers they could not match. He moved the ball (3 assists) without forcing it (2 turnovers), and his defensive pressure (3 steals) added layers to an otherwise one-sided affair. For Basket Willebroek, it was a clean exit from group play. D'espallier's night ensured there were no questions left unanswered.
Seppe D'espallier made Royal Waterloo Basket pay for every slack possession. The Basket Willebroek forward finished with 28 points, 10 rebounds and 3 steals across 29 minutes, shooting 9-of-13 from the field and a clean 6-of-9 from three, with a perfect 4-for-4 at the line. Willebroek's 99–70 victory in Beker van België group play was never close, but D'espallier's efficiency — 69% overall, 67% from deep — made the margin feel almost inevitable. He moved the ball too (3 assists) and stayed out of foul trouble (2 fouls, 2 turnovers in 29 minutes), the kind of careful, high-volume night that defines a blowout win. Group-stage action is done for Willebroek. D'espallier leaves it in the books as a reminder of what sharp shooting and rebounding spacing can do to a defence that doesn't keep pace. #BekervanBelgië #BasketWillebroek #SeppeD'espallier #BelgianBasketball
Basket Willebroek dismantled Royal Waterloo Basket from the opening quarter, building a lead they never relinquished en route to a 99–70 victory in Group Stage play. Royal Waterloo Basket hung close early, trailing 23–30 after one, but Willebroek's offensive rhythm accelerated through the second quarter. By half-time, the gap had widened to 43–51. The third quarter proved decisive: Willebroek outscored their opponents 27–16, stretching the margin to 78–59 heading into the fourth. A 21–11 fourth-quarter run sealed a blowout that was never in doubt. Seppe D'espallier led the rout with 28 points on 9/13 shooting, adding 10 rebounds and 3 steals for a complete performance. Terry Deroover (15 PTS on 5/8 FG, 5/8 from three) and Roby Rogiers (15 PTS on 5/6 FG) gave Willebroek multiple scoring threats. For Royal Waterloo Basket, Daniel Kalala and Quentin Schiettecatte each scored 14 points, while Cedric Delbrassinne added 13 on efficient 6/9 shooting, but the supporting cast offered little resistance to Willebroek's tempo. The result closes Group Stage play for both sides—a statement win for Willebroek and a sobering exit for Royal Waterloo Basket.
Seppe D'espallier made the most of his 25 minutes for BBC Willebroek, finishing with 20 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in a 83–59 win over Amon Jeugd Gentson in Group Stage play. He shot 8 of 13 from the field and 4 of 6 from three, needing no free throws to do it — a clean, efficient night that reflected the gap between the teams. The 24-point margin told the real story: Amon Jeugd Gentson was simply outmatched. D'espallier's accuracy from range, and his willingness to move the ball, underlined BBC Willebroek's control throughout. No steals or blocks, just the work of a forward who knew where to be and how to finish. BBC Willebroek moves on. Amon Jeugd Gentson will look to regroup. #BekervanBelgië #BBCWillebroek #BelgianBasketball #GroupStage #D'espallier
