Royal Nivelles Basketball - A

Plamedi Ngolo Masaka finished with 14 points, 11 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block across 26 minutes as Royal Nivelles Basketball put away St-Niklase Condors 84–69 at home in Group A play. The forward shot 5 of 9 from the field and 4 of 7 from the line, anchoring a 15-point winning margin that never truly tightened once Royal Nivelles established control. Masaka's rebounding work—particularly on a night when the home side held clear glass advantage—proved decisive in a Group A matchup where second chances mattered. Four turnovers kept the performance from pristine, but the efficiency was there: 55.6% shooting in a game Royal Nivelles never surrendered. The win positions Royal Nivelles well in group play. Next up for the hosts is another road test in the division's upper tier.

Royal Nivelles Basketball turned the second quarter into a statement, outscoring St-Niklase Condors 25–9 to seize control at halftime, 42–26. A 13-0 run midway through the third—capped by an early 23-point lead at 49–26—put the game beyond reach, even after the Condors clawed back to trail by 13 heading into the fourth. Axel Bizet orchestrated the win with 23 points on solid shooting (7/14 FG, 3/8 from three, 6/7 FT) and added 7 assists and 4 steals. Cyril Bataille's perfect night from deep—4/4 from three—anchored 16 points off the bench, while Plamedi Ngolo Masaka grabbed 11 rebounds to go with 14 points in a double-double effort (5/9 FG). St-Niklase found moments of resistance: Senne Geukens led the Condors with 20 points, and Anton Huyghe collected a double-double of 13 points and 11 rebounds. The third quarter belonged to them, outscoring Royal Nivelles 25–22, but the early hole proved too deep. Royal Nivelles improve to 4–2 in Group A. Next Saturday they host RBC Belgrade, while St-Niklase (now 3–5) travel to face Gembo Borgerhout.

Gembo Borgerhout stayed perfect in Group A with a 12-point win over Royal Nivelles Basketball, stretching their unbeaten run to six straight. The hosts built a commanding 17-point lead early in the second quarter—33-16 with 7:59 on the clock—but Nivelles refused to fold, cutting it to 33-25 midway through the same period and clawing back into contention. At the half, Gembo held a more modest 43-32 margin after Nivelles took the second quarter 18-17. The third quarter tilted sharply: Nivelles outscored their hosts 25-15, pulling within one at 58-57 heading into the final frame. It looked like an upset brewing. Gembo answered decisively. A 25-14 fourth-quarter performance sealed the result and kept them at 6-0 for the season, while Nivelles' two-game winning streak ended; they fall to 3-2 in Group A. Len Bastiaenssen anchored the win with 20 points and 12 rebounds (double-double) on efficient 6/8 shooting, while Wannes Tomlow contributed 19 points and 6 assists on 6/8 from the field. Vic De Wilde added 15 points and 3 steals. For Nivelles, Axel Bizet led with 16 points and 4 assists; Cyril Bataille scored 15. Gembo visit St.-Truidense on Sunday 25 October.

Wannes Tomlow carried Gembo Borgerhout home with 19 points, 6 assists and 5 rebounds in 40 minutes—shooting 6 of 8 from the field and 7 of 8 from the line—as the hosts beat Royal Nivelles Basketball 83–71 in Group A of Top Division Men 2. Tomlow's efficiency on a small volume was the difference. He turned the ball over just twice and moved the ball into open spaces consistently; his assist-to-turnover ratio and near-perfect free-throw shooting (87.5%) gave Gembo control when Royal Nivelles tried to claw back. The 12-point margin held firm because Tomlow didn't force things when Nivelles pressed—the kind of steady, low-ego performance that doesn't always fill a box score but settles a game. Royal Nivelles stayed competitive in stretches but never found the rhythm to make this close. Gembo's home advantage and Tomlow's restraint proved too much. Next up, Gembo face their next Group A fixture; Nivelles will look to regroup.

Plamedi Ngolo Masaka made the most of his 20 minutes on the floor for Royal Nivelles Basketball, finishing with 14 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists, 1 steal and 1 block on an efficient 5-of-6 shooting (3-of-3 from three-point range). His only blemish was a 1-of-8 night at the free-throw line, but it barely mattered in a blowout. Royal Nivelles dismantled Union BC Quaregnon 77–51 at home in Group A, a 26-point margin that tells its own story. Masaka's clean shooting—especially his three-point accuracy—anchored a dominant performance that made Quaregnon's visit to Salle Omnisports Parc de la Dodaine a one-sided affair. The efficiency was the takeaway here: six shot attempts, five made buckets, eight boards in two-thirds of a game. That kind of return on possessions is exactly what separates a routine win from a statement one in the Top Division.

🏀 Final: Royal Nivelles Basketball 77–51 Union BC Quaregnon. Top scorers: Royal Nivelles Basketball: Cyril Bataille 17 PTS · Union BC Quaregnon: Anthony Tshiteya-Tshimbula 11 PTS.

Royal Nivelles Basketball counter with Plamedi Ngolo Masaka (11.1 PPG), a more distributed offensive approach that will need to tighten if they're to control the tempo at home. This is a direct test of offensive balance. Poisson's 13 PPG suggests Union BC Quaregnon lean hard on their lead man; Royal Nivelles, by contrast, appear more willing to spread the floor. Watch how Nivelles' defence manages Poisson's touches and whether Masaka and company can maintain rhythm without relying on a single scorer to carry stretches.

Plamedi Ngolo Masaka delivered when Royal Nivelles Basketball needed him most: 11 points, 8 rebounds, and a turnover-free 23 minutes in a two-point win over St.-Truidense. The big man finished 7 for 10 from the line and locked in on the glass, crucial margins in a Group A contest decided by possession discipline and nerve. Royal Nivelles won 64–62 at home. Masaka shot 2 for 7 from the field—not efficient by volume—but made his free throws count and controlled the boards. In a game that tight, rebounding and ball security were currency. He delivered both. Top Division Men 2 Group A play resumes next.

Royal Nivelles Basketball held off a spirited St.-Truidense comeback to secure a 64–62 victory in a game that stayed tight down the final stretch. The hosts led wire-to-wire, building a commanding 17-point advantage early in the second quarter at 32–15, then held their nerve as their visitors mounted a furious fourth-quarter rally. The margin appeared safe at halftime with Royal Nivelles up 42–29. St.-Truidense flipped the script in the third, outscoring their hosts 20–13 to cut the deficit to just 55–49 heading into the final quarter. A devastating 10-0 run midway through the fourth pulled St.-Truidense within one possession at 55–50, setting up a tense conclusion that came down to the final moments. Abel Baptista led St.-Truidense with 19 points on 6/11 shooting and added 6 rebounds and 3 assists, while Shawn Mousseau grabbed 12 boards. Cyril Bataille paced Royal Nivelles with 15 points and 7 rebounds on 5/12 from the field, supported by Plamedi Ngolo Masaka's 11 points and 8 rebounds and Yannick Diop's 11 points on efficient 3/6 three-point shooting. Royal Nivelles visit Royal IV Brussels on Saturday 3 October.

Lenn Leenen has been St.-Truidense's engine all season at 16 points per game, and he walks into Nivelles today facing a Royal Nivelles side built around Plamedi Ngolo Masaka's steadier 11.2 PPG. The gap in scoring load tells the story of two different offensive shapes — one team leaning heavily on its lead man, the other spreading the work around. Top Division Men 2 basketball on a Wednesday night: these are the matchups that separate who's serious about the standings from who's just putting in the games. Both clubs need to take care of their business here. Tip-off at Salle Omnisports Parc de la Dodaine. Watch it live.

🏀 Final: Phantoms Basket Boom 82–56 Royal Nivelles Basketball. Top: Joppe Bouckaert 29 PTS.

Joppe Bouckaert finished with 29 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists as Phantoms Basket Boom dismantled Royal Nivelles Basketball 82–56 at home in Group A. The 26-point margin was not close, and Bouckaert's efficiency was the backbone: 11 of 17 from the field, 4 of 8 from three, and a perfect 3 for 3 at the line in 28 minutes. Bouckaert's ball movement—five assists with only two turnovers—kept the rhythm steady while he carried the scoring load. Royal Nivelles had no answer for his range or his touch around the rim. The game was decided early, and Phantoms Basket Boom's control never wavered. A dominant home win, built on a night when their lead scorer imposed his will without needing to force it.

Joppe Bouckaert carved up Royal Nivelles for 29 points in 28 minutes, shooting 11 of 17 from the field and 4 of 8 from three, as Phantoms Basket Boom ran away with a 26-point home win, 82–56, in Group A. The performance was nearly flawless: Bouckaert added 5 rebounds and 5 assists while committing only 2 turnovers and drawing no fouls. He went 3 of 3 at the free-throw line. Boom's offense moved through him seamlessly, and he punished every opening in Nivelles' defense. The margin tells the full story—this was a blowout, not a contest. Bouckaert's efficiency and control set the tone early and Boom never looked back.

Axel Bizet finished with 27 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists in Royal Nivelles Basketball's 74–47 victory over Andenne in Group A play. The forward shot 9 of 14 from the field, including 4 of 7 from three-point range, and converted 5 of 7 free throws in 28 minutes without a turnover. Royal Nivelles Basketball's road win came by 27 points—a decisive margin that left little room for Andenne to find traction. Bizet's clean shooting night, anchored by his accuracy on threes and his ball security, reflected a dominant performance from the visitors. The 27-point spread speaks to the overall control Royal Nivelles maintained throughout, and Bizet's individual efficiency—a near-perfect night from the field and the line—was the defining edge.

Axel Bizet ran Royal Nivelles Basketball's offense with clinical precision in a 27-point, 7-rebound performance that helped demolish Andenne 74–47 in Group A play. The Royal Nivelles guard shot 9 of 14 from the field and 4 of 7 from three, moving the ball without turning it over in 28 minutes. His 5-of-7 free-throw accuracy added cushion to a night where he simply did not miss. Bizet's two steals showed engagement on the other end; a 27-point margin against a Top Division opponent leaves little room for statistical quibble. Royal Nivelles' depth and spacing made Andenne's defense unsustainable. Bizet was the principal beneficiary, but the gap between the teams was stark enough that individual heroics barely mattered. The win keeps Royal Nivelles moving through the group stage; Andenne faces the harder path now.

Royal Nivelles Basketball never gave Andenne a chance. From the opening tip, the visitors controlled the game entirely—leading wire-to-wire and pulling away methodically to coast to a 74-47 victory in Group A play. Andenne trailed 13-19 after the first quarter, but the damage came midway through that opening period when Royal Nivelles Basketball ripped off a 13-0 run to seize control at 5-19. The lead only widened from there. By halftime, Andenne had managed just 23 points against Royal Nivelles Basketball's 38, a 15-point deficit that forecast the final margin. A 12-12 third quarter kept Andenne's deficit steady at 15 heading into the fourth, but Royal Nivelles Basketball simply opened up in the final frame, outscoring Andenne 24-12 to reach a 27-point advantage with 32 seconds remaining. Axel Bizet was the principal architect, dropping 27 points on 9/14 shooting, including 4-of-7 from three, while adding 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Cyril Bataille chipped in 10 points and Romain Bronchaert 8 as Royal Nivelles Basketball's offense moved cleanly. Gabriel Gnekpe led Andenne with 13 points on efficient 5-6 shooting, but it was a solo effort in an otherwise subdued night; Jimmy Stas added 10 points and Alexandre Eyenga 6. Andenne host St-Niklase Condors on Saturday, 12 September, looking to respond. Royal Nivelles Basketball visit Phantoms Basket Boom the same day.

Landon Unruh ran the floor with precision in AB0 LDP Donza's 84–61 home win over Royal Nivelles Basketball, posting 14 points, 8 rebounds and 4 assists in 29 minutes — all while turning the ball over zero times. His shooting was economical: 6 of 9 from the field, though he misfired on all three three-point attempts and made 2 of 3 free throws. He added 4 steals, a reminder that efficiency in the Beker van België group stage can mean more than volume. The 23-point margin left little doubt about which team controlled the tempo from the opening minutes. Unruh's lack of turnovers — rare air for any player in a decisive home fixture — underscored a Donza performance built on the fundamentals: take care of the ball, move it, get your shots. Royal Nivelles never found rhythm on the road.

AB0 LDP Donza left no doubt in the second half, turning a narrow 47–40 half-time lead into a 23-point rout and rolling through to an 84–61 victory over Royal Nivelles Basketball in Group Stage action of the Beker van België. The gap widened steadily after the break. Donza extended the margin to 65–56 by the end of the third quarter, then put the game firmly out of reach with a dominant fourth-quarter showing, outscoring Nivelles 19–5 to seal the decisive win. Wout Verborgt led the charge for Donza with 20 points on efficient shooting—7/12 from the floor and 4/6 from three—adding 4 rebounds. Landon Unruh chipped in 14 points, 8 rebounds and 4 steals on 6/9 shooting, while Rik Van Den Berghe contributed 16 points and 8 rebounds. For Nivelles, Plamedi Ngolo Masaka managed a double-double with 11 points and 14 rebounds, though Nivelles could not sustain any offensive rhythm, particularly down the stretch. The result ends Nivelles' campaign in the competition. Donza, meanwhile, turns attention to a home fixture against Basket SKT Ieper on Sunday, 30 August.

Basket Sijsele held on in a Group Stage contest that stayed level through thirty minutes before tilting in their favour down the stretch. Royal Nivelles Basketball and Sijsele were locked at 31–31 at half-time, but a third-quarter run — Sijsele outscored their hosts 16–10 — opened up a 47–41 gap entering the final frame. Royal Nivelles Basketball clawed back with 16 points in Q4, but Sijsele matched that output to secure a 63–57 win. Kenneth De Vos led Sijsele's offence with 21 points on efficient 9/13 shooting, while J'Nathan Bullock added a double-double of 19 points and 13 rebounds—both pieces holding firm when Royal Nivelles Basketball pressed late. Bataille Cyril paced the hosts with 14 points on 5/9 from the floor, including 3/7 from three, but the supporting cast couldn't generate enough to overtake. A hard-fought Group Stage victory for Sijsele. Royal Nivelles Basketball travel to AB0 LDP Donza on Friday, 28 August.
