Ninane Promotion - A

KBGO Finexa Basket@Sea held off a late push from Ninane Promotion to secure a 77–70 win in Group B play. The hosts built a commanding 12-point lead late in the third quarter at 54–42, but couldn't put the visitors away until a decisive 8–0 run midway through the fourth stretched the margin to 77–65. Ninane Promotion clawed back to within one possession inside the final two minutes, yet couldn't find the bucket to force it closer. Siel Dedoelder was the architect of the win, pouring in 30 points on elite shooting — 8 of 13 from the field, 6 of 9 from three, and 8 of 10 at the line. Dylan Heusequin added 23 points on 9 of 14 shooting while distributing five assists. The offensive load fell squarely on those two; everyone else on the roster combined for 24 points. Ninane Promotion's attack was fragmented. Sacha Di Prospero led them with 12 points, while Guillaume Henrard (9 points, 5 rebounds) and Cyril Van Michel (9 points, 4 assists) couldn't generate enough consistent scoring. A 12-point deficit proved too deep to recover from despite the fourth-quarter surge. KBGO Finexa Basket@Sea turn their attention to a home date against Royal Waterloo Basket this Saturday. Ninane Promotion will travel to face B.C. L'9 Flénu-Frameries the same afternoon.

Len Bastiaenssen carried Gembo Borgerhout as far as it would go in the Beker van België, but 20 points and eight rebounds were not quite enough to overturn a two-point deficit at home. The forward shot 5-of-13 from the floor, yet made 10 of 11 free throws to lead Gembo's scoring in the 1/16 Finals loss to Ninane Promotion. He added three assists and worked 34 minutes as his team pushed late but fell short at 73–75. The missed opportunities from the field — particularly the lone three-point attempt that did not fall — left thin margins in a tight contest that tilted the wrong way. Bastiaenssen's night was a portrait of Belgian cup basketball: resourcefulness and effort constrained by cold shooting, where a few makes from distance might have changed the story. Gembo's campaign in the competition ends here.

Ninane Promotion scraped through to the next round, holding off a furious Gembo Borgerhout rally to win 75–73 in the Beker van België 1/16 Finals. Nine lead changes and seven ties made for a back-and-forth contest decided only in the final two minutes. Gembo Borgerhout set the early pace, leading 24–16 late in the first quarter. Ninane Promotion swung momentum hard through the second, ripping off a 12-0 run midway through to flip the script and lead 43–33 at half-time. That edge grew to 13 points early in the third quarter at 49–36. Gembo Borgerhout clawed back, though — a 24–11 third-quarter surge cut it to a single possession at 57–54 heading into the fourth. The final frame stayed tight throughout, with neither side able to pull clear, and Ninane Promotion held on. Len Bastiaenssen led Gembo Borgerhout with 20 points on solid efficiency (5/13 FG, 10/11 FT) plus 8 rebounds, while Quinten Smout added 18 points on 4/6 three-point shooting. Wannes Tomlow posted a double-double with 12 points and 18 rebounds. For Ninane Promotion, Sacha Di Prospero top-scored with 14 points on 7/11 shooting, and Maxime Bodson hit three from range en route to 12 points off the bench. Both sides' campaigns in the cup now end here.

Gembo Borgerhout and Ninane Promotion meet in the Beker van België tonight at Sporthal Luisbekelaar, with both clubs looking to advance in the cup. Wannes Tomlow has been Borgerhout's engine all season, averaging 19.2 points per game, while Ninane will lean on Maxime Bodson, who sits at 17.6 PPG. Cup basketball often turns on depth and execution rather than individual talent alone, but Tomlow and Bodson's scoring touch will be central to how their respective teams attack. Watch how each side's supporting cast moves the ball and whether either team can build a lead early enough to control the pace. Tip-off is in roughly six hours at Luisbekelaar. Tune in to see who books their spot in the next round.

Martin Balthazar finished with 17 points, 11 rebounds and 4 assists to lead Ninane Promotion past Royal Castors Braine 94–74 on the road. The 20-point margin was not close; Ninane controlled the game throughout Group B play, and Balthazar's two-way efficiency — shooting 7 of 10 from the floor while also recording 2 blocks — anchored the win. Balthazar's rebounding work (11 boards in 34 minutes) was particularly vital in limiting Braine's second chances. He added a steal and turned the ball over four times, though he managed to stay off the foul sheet entirely, a clean night defensively. Ninane's next outing will test whether this road dominance travels further into the group stage.

Royal Castors Braine looked sharp early, building a 16-point lead by midway through the second quarter and reaching their peak at 44–20 with 5:41 left in that frame. Ninane Promotion, though, clawed back steadily. The visitors trimmed the deficit to single digits by half-time, trailing 50–41, then outscored Braine 25–12 in the third to go up 66–62 entering the fourth. The fourth quarter exposed the gap. Ninane Promotion tore through a 15-0 run midway through the period — the score jumped from 73–77 to 73–92 — and Braine never recovered. The visitors' lead swelled to 20 by the final whistle, a 94–74 rout that belonged to the visitors from the closing minutes onward. Maxime Bodson anchored Ninane's second-half dominance with 22 points, 10 rebounds and efficient shooting (6/13 FG, 4/7 three), while Martin Balthazar added 17 points and 11 boards on 7/10 shooting. Cyril Van Michel's 19 points on 10/12 free throws steadied them late. Jean Bonsenge led Braine with 25 points on 8/17 shooting and 8/10 from the line, but found little help; Sammy Bah managed 12 points on 5/11. Royal Castors Braine host Royal Waterloo Basket on Saturday, 3 October.

Maxime Bodson has been the steadier hand for Ninane Promotion this season, averaging 15.4 points per game, but Royal Castors Braine will lean on Jean Bonsenge's 14.8 PPG when the two Top Division sides meet in Braine-l'Alleud. Both have built their offences around these two scorers, and whichever can get them clean looks in transition or off the pick will likely dictate the tempo. Royal Castors Braine and Ninane Promotion are matched on talent but separated by the small margins that define mid-table Belgian club basketball—a defensive stop, an extra pass, the willingness to grind through a quiet third quarter. Neither side is built for a shootout, so ball movement and rim protection could be the difference. Tipoff is in about six hours. Catch it live.

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. Sprimont host KBBC Oostkamp on Saturday, 19 September.

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.

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.
