Wouter Screurs made the road trip count for Hasselt BT, posting 20 points, 5 rebounds and 3 assists in the 76–67 win over Amon Jeugd Gentson. The 36-minute showing was clean: 7 of 11 from the field, 6 of 8 from the line, and crucially, zero turnovers across the full game — a disciplined offensive performance that held up in Group A.
Hasselt's nine-point margin tells the story of a controlled road victory rather than a struggle. Screurs did not need to force anything; his shot selection stayed efficient (no three-pointers attempted, but that reflects the offensive balance Hasselt found). The efficiency efficiency rating favoured him as the night's best performer.
Next up for Hasselt BT is their continuing Group A push in Top Division Men 2.

Hasselt BT pulled away late to edge past Amon Jeugd Gentson 76–67, a nine-point margin that masked the back-and-forth nature of a game defined by seven lead changes and seven ties.
Hasselt raced out to a 10-point lead early in the second quarter (16–26 with 7:39 left), but Amon Jeugd clawed back with a 9-0 run midway through the period that leveled the score at 28–28. A late Amon surge pushed them ahead by 6 at 38–32 with 28 seconds left in the half, but Hasselt regrouped to trail only 38–34 at the break.
The third quarter tilted decisively toward Hasselt. They outscored Amon 23–14 in the period to lead 57–52 entering the fourth. Amon fought back with 15 points in the final frame, but Hasselt's 19 points sealed it.
Wouter Screurs led Hasselt with 20 points on 7/11 shooting and 6/8 from the line, while Quinten Menten added 18 points and 8 rebounds on efficient 7/12 work. For Amon, Thomas Mertens finished with 17 points and 8 rebounds on 7/13 from the field; Warre Crombez chipped in 16 points but shot just 6/17.
Hasselt visit Gembo Borgerhout on Saturday. Amon Jeugd head to RBC Namur Belgrade on Sunday.

Kyrylo Meshcheriakov finished his Beker van België campaign with 26 points on near-perfect shooting — 8 of 10 from the floor, 3 of 4 from three, and 7 for 7 at the line — but it was not enough to keep Hasselt BT alive in group play. The hosts RBC Pepinster East Belgium scraped through 64–61, a three-point margin that left the away side just short despite Meshcheriakov's 32-minute performance.
The Ukrainian wing was everywhere for Hasselt: four rebounds, three assists and a steal balanced against five turnovers and three fouls. On a night when clean shooting could have tilted a close outcome, he delivered — yet the deficit proved insurmountable. Pepinster's defence tightened when it mattered most, and Hasselt could not find a second scorer to shoulder the load alongside him.
Group-stage basketball often leaves little room for redemption. For Hasselt BT, the campaign ends here.

RBC Pepinster East Belgium held off Hasselt BT 64–61 in a Beker van België group-stage thriller decided in the final minutes. Pepinster trailed 20–16 after one quarter and fell further behind at half-time, down 27–37. A dominant third quarter changed everything: Pepinster outscored Hasselt 27–12 to seize a 54–49 lead heading into the fourth. Hasselt rallied late, but Pepinster's narrow edge held through a tight finale.
Kyrylo Meshcheriakov nearly carried Hasselt to victory on his own. The forward poured in 26 points on elite efficiency—8/10 from the floor, 3/4 from three, and a perfect 7/7 from the line. Daan Bijnens and Quinten Menten offered support, though neither could find consistent rhythm (Bijnens shot 3/14, Menten 1/5).
Pepinster's balance proved decisive. Tom Malempré led with 13 points on 4/8 shooting and added three steals. Martin Wintgens contributed 12 points and six rebounds on a perfect 4/4 night from the field, including 2/2 from three. Neo Boterdael chipped in 11 points off the bench.
The group stage campaign concluded with this narrow escape—a Pepinster side that found their form too late to overtake early deficits, yet toughed out a close contest when it mattered most.

Chiel Bruyninckx torched WINDROSE GIANTS ANTWERP - B for 26 points in 14 minutes, hitting 7 of 8 shots and 3 of 4 threes, but it was not enough to save HASSELT BT - A from an 83–91 defeat in the Beker van België group stage.
The forward's efficiency was staggering — 9 of 11 from the line, zero turnovers, a near-complete absence of waste — yet HASSELT BT - A still trailed by eight when the final buzzer sounded. Bruyninckx's scoring burst could not bridge the gap WINDROSE GIANTS ANTWERP - B had built elsewhere on the court.
In a tournament where shooting nights like this one typically swing a game, the result stands as a reminder that individual brilliance does not always translate to team success.
You have reached the end.
