⭐ Player of the Game: Florentin Hucorne — 28 PTS, 4 REB, 1 AST, 1 BLK. RBC Namur Belgrade take it, 92–78.


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.

Mommer Vincent finished with 10 points, 9 rebounds and 3 assists in just 19 minutes as RBC Namur Belgrade held off Basket Sijsele 73–66 in Group Stage play of the Beker van België. Vincent's efficiency was the difference — he shot 3 for 7 from the field, including 2 of 5 from three, and went perfect from the line at 2 for 2. He added 2 steals while committing no turnovers, a clean night's work that anchored Namur's control of the glass and set the tempo early. The seven-point margin flattered neither side: Sijsele stayed within reach throughout, but Namur's depth and home court steadiness kept them ahead. In a competition where every possession counts in group play, Vincent's combination of scoring punch, rebound work and ball security made him the standout performer when it mattered most.
RBC Namur Belgrade weathered a second-half collapse to hold off Basket Sijsele 73–66 in Group Stage action, but the seven-point margin flatters neither team's composure down the stretch. Sijsele dictated the first half, building a 14-point lead by intermission at 38–24. RBC Namur Belgrade clawed back with a dominant third quarter — outscoring their visitors 25–9 to seize a 49–47 advantage — only to see the fourth quarter turn into a sloppy affair. Neither side could build separation; RBC Namur Belgrade managed 24 points in the final frame while Sijsele scored 19, enough to secure the win but hardly a display of control. Sami Demirtas anchored the comeback with 16 points on efficient shooting: 5/9 from the floor, 4/5 from three, and a perfect 2/2 at the line. Cerquarelli Mehdi added 13 points on 5/11 shooting with 4 rebounds and 3 assists. For Sijsele, Landon Unruh and Wout Verborgt each posted 13 points — Verborgt pulling down 7 rebounds — but neither could extend their third-quarter collapse into a fourth-quarter rally. RBC Namur Belgrade host Sijsele again on Saturday 29 August. Basket Sijsele travel to Royal Nivelles Basketball on Saturday 22 August.
