Martin Francoeur carried RBC Pepinster East Belgium to an 11-point home win over BC Guco Lier B on Tuesday, finishing with 17 points on 6-of-12 shooting and a 3-of-7 line from three. The 32-minute effort — completed without a turnover on his books and clean on fouls — guided his side to a 78–67 final in Group B play.
Francoeur's accuracy from distance mattered in a contest that never ran away. He moved the ball only once (0 assists), but his scoring was steady enough: he added 3 rebounds, 1 steal and 1 block, and went 2-for-4 at the free-throw line. RBC Pepinster East Belgium's margin of victory said less about runaway dominance than about a team that kept its shape and made its shots when they counted.

RBC Pepinster East Belgium survived a second-half surge from BC Guco Lier B to claim an 11-point win, 78–67, in Group B play. The margin looked comfortable late, but Lier made it closer than the scoreline suggests in the fourth quarter.
The first half saw the teams trade leads and ties four times over. Pepinster led 19–17 after one, then fell behind 41–43 at halftime as Lier's shooting kept them level. The third quarter belonged entirely to Pepinster. A devastating 11–0 run midway through the period—the score running from 39–43 to 50–43—flipped the momentum. Pepinster's defense tightened while their offense found rhythm, and they entered the fourth quarter with a commanding 67–54 advantage.
Lier refused to fold. They outscored Pepinster 13–11 in the final frame and cut into the lead, but Pepinster's earlier work proved decisive. Pepinster's peak came early in the fourth, when they led by 16 at 70–54 with 9:44 left—enough cushion to weather the late push.
Jordan Maucourant led Pepinster with 18 points on 6/13 shooting and 4-for-4 from the line. Martin Francoeur added 17 points on 6/12 with three threes, and Tom Malempré chipped in 13 points and 6 rebounds. Jaden Ochiagha was a bright spot for Lier, finishing with 23 points on 8/20 shooting; Theo Ivens and Siebe Busschots added 12 and 10 respectively.
Pepinster host BC Asse-Ternat on Saturday 19 September, while Lier visit Basket Sijsele the same day.

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.

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.
Vilvoorde travel to face Spirou Basket Charleroi B on Wednesday, 26 August.

Jules Rotsaert ran the offense to near-perfection in Spirou Basket Charleroi B's 102–88 win over BC Guco Lier B, threading eight assists against five turnovers across 28 minutes in the Group Stage.
The 18-point performance—on 7-of-15 shooting with a pair of three-pointers made—carried Charleroi's attacking game in the away fixture. Rotsaert added four rebounds and two steals, the kind of all-around shift that tilted the rhythm decisively. A 14-point margin is not a squeaker, and Charleroi's floor general got there by dictating tempo and decision-making rather than forcing.
It was a composed display: he made both free throws, stayed mostly efficient from range, and kept the turnover rate reasonable for a ballhandler running half an offense. BC Guco never found an answer to that tempo control.
