Florentin Hucorne left little doubt about who ran the show in Melle. The RBC Namur Belgrade guard lit up Gent-Oost Eagles for 28 points on just 27 minutes, going 9 of 12 from the field and 6 of 9 from three, before finishing off a perfect 4 of 4 at the line. His shooting efficiency—75% overall, 67% from deep—set the tone from the opening stretch. RBC Namur Belgrade's 92-78 victory in Group A play was never particularly close once Hucorne got rolling. The 14-point margin reflected a comfortable away performance, one where the visiting side's offensive rhythm proved too much for the Eagles to match. Hucorne's four rebounds and lone assist fit the profile of a player who did the job at hand: score, space the floor, and move on. Next up for RBC Namur Belgrade is another Group A fixture. For Gent-Oost Eagles, the work ahead of stopping similar firepower begins immediately.

Milan De Clercq carved through Royal IV Brussels' defense with surgical precision, finishing 17 points on 6-for-8 shooting—including 3-for-5 from three—in just 20 minutes as Gent-Oost Eagles secured a 10-point home win, 85–75, in Group A play. The efficiency was striking: De Clercq didn't miss from the line (2-for-2) and committed only two turnovers in his half-court stint. He did the scoring work without needing to dominate the glass or playmaking (1 rebound, 1 assist), letting his shooting accuracy carry the load when Gent-Oost needed to build separation. Royal IV Brussels stayed within striking distance for stretches but couldn't match the Eagles' offensive spacing and precision. De Clercq's three-point stroke—a threat Brussels had to respect—opened driving lanes and kept the offense flowing in a controlled performance rather than a track meet. Next up: Gent-Oost Eagles continue their Group A campaign.

Kaï Hawley finished Ninane Promotion's Group Stage campaign with near-flawless efficiency: 13 points on 4-of-5 shooting, 4-of-4 from the line, 2 assists and a clean turnover sheet in 17 minutes. That kind of shooting splits—80% overall, 100% at the free-throw line—made the difference in a 10-point home win over Gent-Oost Eagles. The margin itself tells the story. Ninane Promotion's depth and ball movement kept Gent-Oost at arm's length throughout. Hawley's role in that was small in scope but outsized in impact: every possession he touched moved cleanly. No wasted seconds, no forced plays. For Ninane Promotion, the Group Stage now closes with a win. For Gent-Oost, a loss that leaves them chasing ground in a tight pool.

Ninane Promotion pulled clear in the fourth quarter to edge Gent-Oost Eagles and advance from group play in the Beker van België. A tight first half — 37–36 at the break — gave way to an even tighter third, with Gent-Oost Eagles leading 60–58 heading into the final period. Then Ninane Promotion took over. A 29–17 fourth quarter sealed a 10-point win and a group-stage exit for their opponents. Cyril Van Michel led the charge with 15 points on efficient shooting: 4-of-8 overall and 4-of-6 from three. Guillaume Henrard added 14 points and four rebounds on 7-of-12 from the floor, while Kaï Hawley chipped in 13 points, including a perfect 4-of-4 night at the free-throw line. Gent-Oost Eagles managed 60 points through three quarters but could not maintain the pace. Jorre De Wilde finished with 13 points on solid 4-of-8 shooting, and Tom De Geest pulled down four rebounds, but the collapse in the fourth — just 17 points in a 29-point quarter — left them short. Thomas Van Hille's 12 points on 4-of-13 shooting reflected the wider struggle to stay consistent. Ninane Promotion's group campaign is now complete with this win secured.

Yannick Cornelissen's 11 points, 13 rebounds and 7 steals in 30 minutes steered BBC Croonen Lommel to a 93–69 road win over Gent-Oost Eagles in the Beker van België group stage, a 24-point margin that left no doubt about the outcome. The numbers tell the story: Cornelissen shot 5-for-8 from the field, moved the ball with 4 assists and limited his turnovers to 2 in half an hour. His work on the glass and on the perimeter defence set the tone early and never loosened. Gent-Oost couldn't find an answer, and the gap only widened. BBC Croonen Lommel's group-stage campaign is now complete. This kind of performance—efficient, multi-faceted, the kind that doesn't show up as a headline stat but steadies a team's entire rhythm—is what it takes to finish strong in knockout football of any sort.

BBC Croonen Lommel dismantled Gent-Oost Eagles 93–69 in the Beker van België group stage, a 24-point demolition that left no doubt about which side came prepared. The Eagles kept pace early — 21–19 after one quarter — but collapsed when it mattered. A 27-point explosion in the second quarter by Lommel flipped the script entirely, and by halftime the gap was 31–46. The third quarter told the same story: Lommel outscored Gent-Oost 23–17 to stretch clear at 69–48. A late 21-point run from the Eagles in the fourth was too little remedy for a match that had already been decided. Bram Schelkens led the rout with 24 points on efficient 8/14 shooting, while Toon Ceyssens matched that output and added 16 rebounds for a double-double. Yannick Cornelissen's defense was suffocating — 7 steals and 13 boards — as Lommel's bench depth and rebounding control simply overpowered their opposition. For Gent-Oost, Jorre De Wilde shot cleanly (7/10 FG, 4/5 from three) for 20 points, and Jens Coppens added 14, but Jean-Michel Citona's 4/18 shooting summed up the Eagles' night: they had no answer to Lommel's second-quarter surge, and that lapse ended their campaign. Gent-Oost turn to Saturday 29 August and a visit to Ninane Promotion, where they'll look to reset.

Thomas Van Hille stepped into the space Gent-Oost Eagles needed filled, dropping 17 points on efficient shooting to steer his side past Ninane Promotion 86–74 in Group Stage action. The 25-minute performance—6 of 11 from the floor, 4 of 6 at the free-throw line—carried the Eagles clear by 12 at home, a comfortable margin that reflected a clean game in transition. Van Hille's four assists and two steals underscored his work beyond the scoring column; a turnover and two fouls kept the noise to a minimum. He found rhythm early and stayed there, the kind of steady offensive night that doesn't require theatrics to move a team forward. Ninane Promotion couldn't muster enough sustained resistance, and the Eagles' depth proved the difference. Next up: Gent-Oost eyes their next Group Stage test.

Gent-Oost Eagles pulled clear in the second half to beat Ninane Promotion 86–74 in Group Stage action, a hard-fought win that turned on a decisive third quarter. The hosts built early control, leading 25–18 after one and stretching that to 48–32 at half-time. Ninane fought back in the third, but Gent-Oost answered with a 19–17 quarter to push the margin to 67–49 heading into the fourth. Ninane staged a late rally—outscoring the Eagles 25–19 in the final period—but it proved too little too late, with the 12-point final deficit reflecting the gap that had already opened. Jean-Michel Citona drove the Eagles' offense, finishing with 27 points on efficient 10/18 shooting and a sharp 6/11 from three. Thomas Van Hille added 17 points and 4 assists, while Simon De Bruyne chipped in 11 and 7 rebounds off the bench. For Ninane, Martin Balthazar led with 15 points and 6 rebounds despite difficult 5/16 shooting, and Maxime Bodson grabbed 7 rebounds in a reserve role. Gent-Oost host BBC Croonen Lommel on Tuesday 25 August.
