Belgium U16 hold off Slovenia U16 85–82 in a nail-biter behind Youssef Zagdoud's 37

Youssef Zagdoud delivered 37 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists to steer Belgium U16 past Slovenia U16 85–82 in a Classification round fixture. Shooting 16 of 31 from the field, Zagdoud ran the offense with precision and converted consistently inside the arc. He added 8 steals and committed zero turnovers across 37 minutes, a control figure in a three-point result that required his ballhandling and decision-making down the stretch. Slovenia stayed within reach but Belgium's ball security—anchored by Zagdoud's mistake-free play—proved decisive in a tight contest. The margin reflected the thinness of separation at this level; both teams executed, but Zagdoud's volume and care with the basketball shifted the balance.

Youssef Zagdoud drops 37 on Slovenia U16

Youssef Zagdoud carried our young Lions to a 85–82 win over Slovenia U16 on the final day of their Division A campaign, posting 37 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists and 8 steals across 37 minutes at Arena Antonio Alexe in Oradea. The performance was as complete as it gets in a three-point finish. Zagdoud shot 16 of 31 from the floor and 5 of 7 from the line — efficient enough when the margin was this tight — and his eight steals were the real standout, turning the ball over just once in the process. He ran the offense when needed and took what the defense gave him, neither forcing nor disappearing when the game tightened in the final moments. It was exactly the kind of individual display our boys needed in a classification game that mattered for their seeding. Zagdoud's work across the full span — scoring, facilitating, defending — is what got them over the line.

Belgium U16 hold off Slovenia U16 85–82 in a nail-biter

Zagdoud carries 55.4 TIB Efficiency into the Slovenia matchup tonight — 19.6 points and 5.2 assists per game lighting up our youngsters' offense. But he'll face a Blazic in sharper form: the Slovenian guard sits at 57.6 efficiency, averaging 15 points with the kind of court vision that's made him the quieter architect in their attack. This is the duel that decides tempo. Zagdoud thrives in space, running the pick-and-roll and finding cutters; Blazic moves fewer bodies but runs tighter sets. Neither is a shot-volume scorer — both operate as primary facilitators first — which means the game hinges on who controls the rhythm and forces the other into isolation ball. Belgium U16 and Slovenia U16 tip off in Oradea in roughly three hours. Our young Lions have the offensive artillery, but Blazic's efficiency rating suggests Slovenia won't roll over. Worth your attention.

Roman Kolka goes 23 and 11 rebounds vs Belgium U16

Roman Kolka's double-double lifted Slovenia U16 past our young Lions on Wednesday, the Slovenian forward finishing with 23 points and 11 rebounds to anchor a 80–67 victory at Arena Antonio Alexe. Kolka controlled the paint throughout, adding three steals and five blocks — the kind of two-way work that dictated tempo in the second half. Our youngsters fought back sporadically, notably in stretches where they cut into the lead, but couldn't sustain the pressure needed to flip the result. Slovenia's depth and size proved the difference over 40 minutes. Belgium U16 now prepare for their next fixture in the FIBA U16 EuroBasket Division A group. There's work ahead, but the frame here is clear: on this evening, the better-rounded side won.

Slovenia U16 beat Belgium U16 80–67 behind Tobias Blazic's 13

Tobias Blazic has been the engine for Slovenia's U16 outfit, averaging 14.5 points and 2.5 assists with a 50.3 TIB Efficiency rating — the kind of calm, efficient half-court operator who slows a game to his tempo. Youssef Zagdoud, our main ball-mover, sits at 38.3 TIB Eff with 14 points per game but leads the charge with 4.5 assists, running in transition and keeping our young Lions sharp on the perimeter. The gap between them isn't vast, but it tells the story of how these two teams will likely operate. Slovenia will hunt for Blazic in pick-and-roll and iso sets; we'll want Zagdoud orchestrating pace and space. One prefers to dictate; the other to accelerate. Our youngsters tip off in about three hours in Oradea. Worth your attention.

Camron Nonga Drieux leads France U16 past Slovenia U16 with 15

Camron Nonga Drieux a fait circuler le ballon et pesé dans la peinture. 15 points, 3 contres, 3 rebonds : la ligne de stat ne rend pas compte de son impact défensif, qui a perturbé le jeu slovène tout du long. Nos jeunes Bleus n'ont pas traîné. Une victoire nette, 93–68, qui montre une équipe en contrôle, surtout quand les intérieurs français ont imposé leur loi. Drieux a participé à cette domination — pas par le spectaculaire, mais par la solidité. Dans une rencontre où la France a fait la différence au rebond et en défense, c'est exactement ce qu'il fallait. La suite attend déjà. Les jeunes Bleus savent désormais ce qu'on attend d'eux à ce niveau.

Final recap

France U16 rout Slovenia U16 by 25 behind Camron Nonga Drieux's 15

Nos jeunes Bleus ont fait le job sans traîner. France U16 s'est imposée 93–68 face à la Slovénie, un succès sans suspense qui a scellé leur domination dès l'entrée en lice. Le tournant ? Un 12–0 en première période — de 8–8 à 20–8 — qui a d'emblée mis la Slovénie sous l'eau. Nos garçons ont creusé l'écart régulièrement, touchant à un plus 25 au cours du troisième quart (69–44). Les Slovènes ont bien tenté de limiter la casse, mais le match était plié bien avant la fin : les Bleus ont géré tranquillement le dernier quart (22–15) pour valider une victoire autoritaire, 25 points d'écart au final. Camron Nonga Drieux a été la brute de force : 15 points sur un redoutable 6/8 au tir, 3 contres. Liham Eleka, lui, a marché au feu de trois (4/4 de loin) pour 14 points, 3 passes et 4 interceptions. Côté slovène, Tobias Blazic (17 pts, 5/6 au tir) et Roman Kolka (17 pts, 4 passes) ont fait le job en attaque, mais sans le soutien d'ensemble pour inquiéter les Bleus. Direction la Belgique samedi pour la prochaine sortie. Rendez-vous au pays de la Flandre pour poursuivre la marche en avant.

France U16 rout Slovenia U16 by 25

Tim Hegic arrive en forme à Oradea avec un 5,6 d'efficacité TIB, une solidité slovène qui aura du mal à contenir les jeunes Bleus ce soir. Emmanuel Destom Alger fait figure de moteur offensif français face à un adversaire qui n'a pas l'envergure pour le ralentir. La Slovénie joue resserrée, défendue, mais sans véritable créateur : zéro passe décisive pour Hegic en récent travail. C'est une équipe d'exécutants, pas de meneur de jeu. La France, elle, devrait accélérer le tempo et forcer les ballons perdus. Les jeunes Bleus entrent dans cette FIBA U16 EuroBasket avec l'obligation de faire le geste juste et de punir chaque manque slovène en transition. Destom Alger devrait avoir des espaces. Coup d'envoi dans trois heures à Oradea. À suivre en direct.
