Basket Willebroek dismantled Royal Waterloo Basket from the opening quarter, building a lead they never relinquished en route to a 99–70 victory in Group Stage play. Royal Waterloo Basket hung close early, trailing 23–30 after one, but Willebroek's offensive rhythm accelerated through the second quarter. By half-time, the gap had widened to 43–51. The third quarter proved decisive: Willebroek outscored their opponents 27–16, stretching the margin to 78–59 heading into the fourth. A 21–11 fourth-quarter run sealed a blowout that was never in doubt. Seppe D'espallier led the rout with 28 points on 9/13 shooting, adding 10 rebounds and 3 steals for a complete performance. Terry Deroover (15 PTS on 5/8 FG, 5/8 from three) and Roby Rogiers (15 PTS on 5/6 FG) gave Willebroek multiple scoring threats. For Royal Waterloo Basket, Daniel Kalala and Quentin Schiettecatte each scored 14 points, while Cedric Delbrassinne added 13 on efficient 6/9 shooting, but the supporting cast offered little resistance to Willebroek's tempo. The result closes Group Stage play for both sides—a statement win for Willebroek and a sobering exit for Royal Waterloo Basket.
Milo Hautekeet made a statement in 23 minutes. The Basics Melsele-Beveren forward shot 13-of-15 from the field—86.7%—to finish with 33 points, 5 rebounds and 1 steal in his team's 84-77 Group Stage win over Royal Waterloo Basket. That efficiency matters in a seven-point decision. Hautekeet worked almost exclusively inside or at close range (0-of-0 from three), where he found space and finished consistently. His 7-of-11 showing at the line underscored a disciplined performance: only 2 turnovers across the half-hour, a low tax for the volume he generated. Basics Melsele-Beveren's depth in shooting meant Waterloo could not simply clamp down on one shooter. But Hautekeet's night—the kind of ruthless, economical scoring that piles points fast—gave the home side the margin they needed to hold on.
You have reached the end.
