17 pts7 reb2 ast60.0 TIB EFF
Thomas Castagne finished with 17 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists in 28 minutes as BC Sprimont took control at home, defeating Ninane Promotion 89–70 in Group B play. The margin tells the story: a 19-point win in a Top Division Men 2 matchup that got away from the visitors early and stayed that way.
Castagne's shooting split the game neatly—he was reliable from the line (6 for 6), moderate from the field (5 for 10), and efficient enough on threes (1 for 2) to stay a threat. Three turnovers and two fouls kept him honest; no blocks, but his seven boards on a night when BC Sprimont controlled the glass mattered more.
The home side's depth and discipline showed in the 19-point margin. Ninane never got the pace or the second chances needed to stay in it. For BC Sprimont, Castagne's all-around contribution—solid shooting, board work, ball security when it counted—was the anchor in a convincing Group B statement.

BC Sprimont controlled the second half and coasted to a 19-point win, 89-70, in Group B play—a comfortable margin that masks how evenly matched the opening two quarters were.
The teams traded blows early. Ninane Promotion led by as many as 6 late in the second quarter, but BC Sprimont answered with a 25-point second frame to take a 46-43 halftime lead. The third quarter proved decisive. A 12-0 run midway through the frame stretched Sprimont's edge to 72-53 with 1:46 left in the period, and Ninane Promotion never recovered. The final quarter was a formality—Sprimont held firm while Ninane added just 14 points in the fourth.
Thomas Castagne led Sprimont with 17 points on efficient 5-10 shooting, adding 7 rebounds and perfect free-throw accuracy (6 for 6). Pierrick Van Den Brule chipped in 16 points and 7 boards; Loïc Meunier finished 3-4 from the floor for 13 points. Maxime Bodson carried Ninane with 23 points on 8-13 shooting and 7 rebounds, while Guillaume Henrard added 19 on a sharp 9-12 clip, but the rest of the roster couldn't generate enough support.

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.
