BC Asse-Ternat - A

Robin Malpas delivered 18 points on efficient shooting as RBC Pepinster East Belgium held off BC Asse-Ternat 79–69 at home in Group B play. The forward made 6 of 13 from the field and a crisp 5 of 6 from the line, adding four rebounds and a steal across 28 minutes to anchor a 10-point victory. Malpas's marksmanship—particularly his reliability at the free-throw line—proved the difference when RBC Pepinster East Belgium needed to close out the second half. His accuracy from distance (1/2 from three) kept the offense flowing without forcing shots; a single turnover underscores a composed performance in traffic. BC Asse-Ternat kept pace early but couldn't find the offensive consistency to mount a real threat down the stretch. The 10-point margin reflects RBC Pepinster East Belgium's control rather than any collapse from their visitors.

RBC Pepinster East Belgium held off a late surge from BC Asse-Ternat to secure a 79–69 win and extend their streak to three straight wins. The hosts controlled the second quarter decisively, outscoring their visitors 20–10 to build an 8-point halftime lead, but BC Asse-Ternat answered with their strongest period in the third, winning that quarter 28–23 to close to within three by the end of three. The early moments of the third quarter had seen RBC Pepinster East Belgium stretch out to an 11-point cushion at 43–32, but that margin proved fragile. BC Asse-Ternat kept pressure on throughout, posting eight lead changes and one tie across the match. Pepinster finally pulled clear in the fourth, outscoring their opponents 18–11 to seal it. Robin Malpas led the hosts with 18 points on 6/13 shooting, adding four rebounds and a steal. Tom Malempré chipped in 14 points off the bench with three three-pointers, while Martin Wintgens anchored the glass with nine rebounds alongside 11 points. For BC Asse-Ternat, Sander Van Ginderachter recorded 18 points and 8 rebounds on 5/10 shooting, and Sebastian Apers matched that scoring with 17 points, though it was not enough to overcome the second-quarter gap. The result lifts Pepinster to 5–2 in Group B. Asse-Ternat, now 2–5, have lost five straight. RBC Pepinster East Belgium host Royal Waterloo Basket on Saturday, 7 November.

KBBC Oostkamp escaped with a 98–91 win over BC Asse-Ternat in a back-and-forth Group B affair. The home side steadied themselves in the fourth quarter with a decisive 34–24 run, but it came after trailing by three at the half and falling three points behind again after three. Oostkamp's first-quarter control — a 28–23 lead — evaporated when Asse-Ternat outscored them 20–12 in the second to take a 43–40 halftime advantage. The visitors then ripped a 9–0 run midway through the third to push their lead to 11 at 52–41. Oostkamp clawed level by quarter's end at 67–64, and the fourth-quarter surge proved the difference. It remained tight inside the final two minutes, but the hosts held firm. Sam Caron led Asse-Ternat with 27 PTS on 10/17 shooting and added 7 AST and 5 REB, while Jan Goyens shot efficiently for 25 PTS (12/14 FG). Kevin Anneessens chipped in 15 PTS. For Oostkamp, Joran Vercruysse posted 23 PTS on 7/16 shooting with 5/9 from three, Dylan Inussa Isako added 17 PTS on 7/9 accuracy, and Julian Dewinter scored 14 PTS. The win lifts Oostkamp to 3–3; Asse-Ternat drop to 2–3 and fall to a third straight loss. Oostkamp visit B.C.

Sam Caron took over from the perimeter at De Valkaart, landing 27 points on efficient 10-of-17 shooting to lead BC Asse-Ternat's attack, but it wasn't enough to overcome KBBC Oostkamp's balance. The visitors fell 91–98 in Group B play, a seven-point gap that underscored their road difficulty in Top Division Men 2. Caron's 5-of-6 work at the line and seven assists kept BC Asse-Ternat competitive through stretches, yet the three-point shot deserted him when it mattered — 2 of 7 from deep — and a lone turnover in 35 minutes was the only blemish on an otherwise clean floor game. He owned the first half rhythm and tried to sustain it, but Oostkamp's depth told over the full 40. It was a shooting night, not a systemic failure. For BC Asse-Ternat, the question now is whether the road form steadies before the next fixture.

BC Sprimont pulled away decisively in the fourth quarter to beat BC Asse-Ternat 92–74, a comfortable margin that masked an evenly contested first half. The opening two quarters were tightly wound—nine lead changes and seven ties kept either side from building breathing room. BC Asse-Ternat forced early pressure, leading 11–4 midway through the first, but BC Sprimont steadied. At halftime, BC Sprimont held a narrow 40–38 advantage after outscoring BC Asse-Ternat 21–19 in the second quarter. The third quarter tightened further. BC Sprimont extended to 67–64 after three, still a one-possession game, but the fourth quarter belonged to them entirely. A devastating 12–0 run midway through the final quarter—the score ballooning from 65–64 to 77–64—broke the fixture open. BC Sprimont reached their largest lead of 18 points with 03:28 remaining, and BC Asse-Ternat managed only 10 points in the fourth against 25 for the visitors. Jan Goyens anchored BC Asse-Ternat with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists on solid efficiency (7/10 FG, 1/1 3P), but it was not enough to weather the late collapse. For BC Sprimont, Loïc Meunier and Thomas Castagne each finished with 15 points, while Pierrick Van Den Brule logged a double-double of 14 points and 11 rebounds. BC Asse-Ternat travel to KBBC Oostkamp on Saturday, 17 October, seeking to recover.

Jan Goyens nearly willed BC Asse-Ternat back into it, finishing with 17 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists on efficient 7-of-10 shooting, but an 18-point home loss to BC Sprimont (92–74) proved too steep a climb. Playing 31 minutes at Sporthal Waalborre, Goyens ran the offence cleanly — just 2 turnovers — and knocked down 7 of his first 10 field-goal attempts, including his only three-pointer. He also drew fouls sparingly (2) and forced 2 steals. His 2-of-4 work at the line kept him honest, but the damage was already done by then: BC Sprimont's lead had widened beyond repair in Group B play. It was the kind of individual performance that catches the eye in a blowout loss — a sharp, low-waste night in the middle of a game that got away early. BC Asse-Ternat will need to reset quickly.

BC Asse-Ternat and BC Sprimont square off in Top Division Men 2 this evening at Sporthal Waalborre. Both squads will lean heavily on their leading scorers—Sander Van Ginderachter has averaged 18 points per game for Asse-Ternat, while Pierrick Van Den Brule sits at 18.4 for Sprimont—making ball movement and perimeter defense the likely pivot points.

Ninane Promotion and BC Asse-Ternat tip off in Hall omnisports Vaux-Sous-Chevremont, Chaudfontaine in about six hours. This is Belgian domestic basketball — two clubs looking to make a statement in a competitive division. If you've got the time, it's worth tuning in to see which side's offensive system clicks first. #TopDivisionMen2 #BelgianBasketball #NinanePromotion #BCAsse-Ternat #LiveBasketball #BeBasketball

Sander Van Ginderachter arrives at Salle de basket Pierre Raskin carrying 18.3 points per game into tonight's Top Division Men 2 fixture between BC Asse-Ternat and RBC Pepinster East Belgium. The Belgian's scoring punch will face a defence anchored by Martin Francoeur's side, with Pepinster's lead scorer at 14.2 PPG and room to assert himself in the paint. Both clubs enter a competition where consistency separates contenders from the rest. Asse-Ternat's offensive firepower — built largely around Van Ginderachter's output — will test how Pepinster manages perimeter scoring in the opening stretches. Early ball movement and defensive pressure often decide these domestic clashes, and tonight shapes as no exception. Tip-off in roughly six hours. Watch it unfold.

Sander Van Ginderachter was the difference-maker in a two-point finish. The BC Asse-Ternat forward shot 7-of-10 from the floor—including a clean 3-of-3 at the line—for 18 points, grabbed 8 rebounds and added 2 steals in 26 minutes at Sporthal Waalborre. Those numbers held up under pressure: AB InBev Leuven Bears B came within a possession late, but Van Ginderachter's efficiency and ball-security (only 3 turnovers across the game) proved decisive in a 77–75 Group B win. It was the kind of focused, low-waste display that separates narrow victories from narrow defeats in Top Division Men 2. One assist and no blocks meant Van Ginderachter stayed on his primary job—score when it's there, rebound when it matters—and left the orchestration to others. In a game decided by margins this thin, that kind of single-minded execution is exactly what gets the job done. BC Asse-Ternat moves forward with momentum. The next fixture will test whether this Group B form can hold.

BC Asse-Ternat held off a late charge from AB InBev Leuven Bears B to win 77–75 in a back-and-forth Group B contest. Eight lead changes and seven ties kept the result in doubt until the final possession. The visitors led by as many as 9 early in the third quarter at 38–47, but BC Asse-Ternat clawed back. A decisive 12-0 run in the fourth quarter — spanning from 59–64 to 71–64 midway through the period — gave the home side breathing room. Leuven Bears B refused to fold, though. They trimmed the lead to a single possession inside the final two minutes, yet could not find the equalizer as Asse-Ternat closed out 24–17 in the fourth. Sander Van Ginderachter led the hosts with 18 points on efficient 7/10 shooting, adding 8 rebounds. Sam Caron chipped in 16 points and converted 9 of 10 free throws despite a cold night from the field (3/13). For the Bears B, Mathis Coly scored 22 points on 4-for-7 from three, while Eise van Wayenburg posted a double-double of 16 points and 10 rebounds. BC Asse-Ternat visit RBC Pepinster East Belgium on Saturday 19 September.

Sam Caron put BC Asse-Ternat on his shoulders down the stretch, finishing with 27 points on 9-of-14 shooting (5-of-8 from three) to edge BC Guco Lier B 83–81 at home. The 34-minute effort included 3 assists and 3 steals, a near-flawless night from the floor that proved decisive in a two-point result. Caron's efficiency from deep — nearly 63 percent — kept Asse-Ternat's offence ticking through a close Group B contest. In a game that came down to possession and poise, his shooting touch gave the hosts just enough separation when it mattered most. Next up for Asse-Ternat: a trip to face their next Group B opponent.

Ariol Ngueukam Poudeu anchored Union BC Quaregnon's defence down the stretch as they held off BC Asse-Ternat 66–60 in Group Stage play. The big man finished with 7 points, 9 rebounds, 4 blocks and 2 steals across 21 minutes, converting all three free throws and playing a disciplined game despite four fouls. His work on the glass and at the rim proved decisive in a low-scoring affair where margin mattered. The six-point victory clinches Union BC Quaregnon's Group Stage campaign. Ngueukam Poudeu's interior presence — both as a rebounder and rim protector — gave the hosts a reliable anchor when perimeter shooting dried up: he shot 2 of 4 from the field in limited minutes, letting his efficiency speak louder than volume. In a contest that never got far from tied, that kind of steady, high-percentage floor work was exactly what separated the teams.

Union BC Quaregnon held off BC Asse-Ternat 66–60 in a Beker van België Group Stage contest decided by defensive intensity down the stretch. The margin was six, but the game never felt settled—a hard-fought win for Quaregnon in a competition that demanded it. Asse-Ternat led 34–35 at half-time after a second quarter that saw them edge the scoring. Quaregnon answered with a 20–17 third quarter to take 55–51 into the fourth, then managed just 11 points over the final ten minutes while holding Asse-Ternat to 9—a slugfest in which neither team found rhythm but Quaregnon's defense held when it mattered most. Sander Van Ginderachter carried Asse-Ternat with 18 PTS on 6/13 shooting and 7 REB, his outside shot active but not enough to force the issue. Jan Goyens added 9 PTS, 9 REB, and Kevin Anneessens chipped in 9 PTS on solid 3-point shooting (3/6), but the bench depth never materialized into the push needed late. For Quaregnon, balance won out. Glodi Beya Beya finished with 12 PTS on 4/8 shooting and 5 REB. Milhan Pierzchala matched him at 12 PTS with three steals and efficient ball distribution. Sven Poisson added 11 PTS, 3 AST. Their collective defence—three steals apiece from Beya Beya and Pierzchala—was the difference when shots stopped falling. Group play is now done for both sides.

Basket Waregem pulled clear in the third quarter and held firm down the stretch to beat BC Asse-Ternat 72–61 in the Beker van België group stage. A tight first half left the teams separated by just two points at the break (33–31), but Waregem's third-quarter surge—outscoring Asse-Ternat 23–14 in that frame—built a seven-point cushion heading into the final period and proved decisive. BC Asse-Ternat managed only 14 points in the fourth quarter and could not find the rhythm to close the gap. Sander Van Ginderachter led the home side with 17 points on 6-of-14 shooting, while Sam Caron chipped in 14 points and 5 rebounds off the bench. Sebastian Apers added 10 points and 5 rebounds. For Waregem, Timo Casteele was the leading scorer with 16 points and 4-of-7 three-point shooting. Dylan Delobbe contributed 11 points and 5 rebounds, and Ikolo Augustine grabbed 5 boards to anchor the interior. Waregem's balance and third-quarter execution proved the difference. With the victory, Basket Waregem exits the group stage campaign. BC Asse-Ternat face Union BC Quaregnon on Sunday 30 Augustine as they look to bounce back.

Hugo Riga made every possession count for NEUFCHATEAU - A on Thursday night. The youngster finished with 7 points, 3 rebounds and 2 steals across 15 minutes, running a near-perfect floor game: 3-for-3 from the field, including 1-for-1 from three, with no turnovers to speak of (1 TO in limited minutes). A small sample, yes, but in a Beker van België Group Stage rout — our Lions winning 91–52 at home — Riga's efficiency stood out precisely because he didn't force anything. He moved the ball (2 assists), played sound defence and got out of the way when the game was already decided. That's the kind of measured contribution that reads well on tape ahead of NEUFCHATEAU - A's next outing.

NEUFCHATEAU - A dismantled BC ASSE-TERNAT - A in Group Stage play, running away to a 91–52 victory that was never in doubt from the opening whistle. Our Lions established control early, jumping to 23–12 after one quarter and stretching the lead to 48–27 by half-time. The gap only widened in the second half, with NEUFCHATEAU - A posting 26 points in the third quarter alone to reach 74–41 heading into the fourth. Samuel Schadeck led the onslaught with 27 points on efficient shooting — 11 of 13 from the field and 5 of 7 from three. Hugo Deneve added 14 points and 4 steals, while Nicolas Sturam chipped in 10 points and 3 assists as the entire roster moved the ball freely. BC ASSE-TERNAT - A could not keep pace; Sam Caron's 13 points and Goyens Jan's 11 were isolated bright spots in an otherwise lopsided affair. This was a statement performance in the opening round. NEUFCHATEAU - A travel to face BASKET WAREGEM - A this Saturday.

Mathis Bizimana versus Jan Goyens in the Beker van België — a duel between our Lions' two most efficient operators in this competition so far. Bizimana has been the driving force for NEUFCHATEAU - A, posting 48.1 TIB efficiency with 16.1 points per game. He's the primary scorer and engine, running the offense when it counts. Goyens brings a different profile for BC ASSE-TERNAT - A: 40.1 efficiency, 12.9 points, but the playmaking thread at 4.2 assists per game makes him a floor general first, scorer second. The matchup turns on spacing and ball movement. Can Bizimana impose his scoring load against ASSE-TERNAT's defense, or will Goyens experience orchestrating the offense keep his team in rhythm and in striking distance? It's a microcosm of how both squads operate — one built around a dominant individual, the other more distributed. Tipoff in three hours.
