St.-Truidense - A

Wannes Tomlow finished with 19 points, 11 rebounds and 5 assists in 37 minutes as Gembo Borgerhout held off St.-Truidense 63–58 on the road. The forward's efficiency rating earned him our player-of-the-game nod despite a shooting night that saw him convert just 5 of 10 from the floor (2 of 5 on threes), though he compensated at the line with 7 of 12 made free throws. The five-point margin mattered in a defensive grind where neither side found rhythm early. Tomlow's 11 boards and three steals across the night reflected the kind of two-way work that typically tilts close games — he forced the issue on both ends without dominating the ball (5 turnovers in 37 minutes is unavoidable noise in that kind of workload). St.-Truidense competed hard at home but couldn't quite thread the needle down the stretch. Gembo Borgerhout's road win sends them into the next Group A fixture with genuine momentum.

Gembo Borgerhout's unbeaten streak survives a late scare at Sint-Truiden. St.-Truidense clawed back from a five-point deficit after three quarters but could not find the final bucket; the sides traded points evenly through the fourth before Gembo held on, 63–58, to improve to 7–0 in Group A. The first half belonged to neither team cleanly. Gembo Borgerhout took Q1 by three (17–14) but St.-Truidense answered hard in the second, outscoring them 15–8 to lead 29–25 at the break. The momentum swung decisively in Q3: Gembo ripped off a 24–15 quarter, peaking with an eight-point lead at 46–38 late in the frame, leaving St.-Truidense trailing 49–44 heading into the fourth. St.-Truidense matched Gembo Borgerhout score-for-score down the stretch—both teams managed 14 points in the final quarter—but could not bridge the gap. The game stayed one possession inside the final two minutes, yet the hosts never drew level. Wannes Tomlow led Gembo with 19 PTS on 5/10 shooting, 11 REB and 5 AST, while Quinten Smout added 19 PTS (5/12 FG, 5/12 from three, 4/4 FT) and Len Bastiaenssen posted 14 PTS, 10 REB (double-double). For St.-Truidense, Abel Baptista and Yannick Ravert each scored 10 PTS; Ravert grabbed 12 boards (double-double) but shot just 2/5 from the floor. The loss marks St.-Truidense's fifth straight defeat, dropping them to 2–5. Gembo Borgerhout host St-Niklase Condors on Saturday; St.-Truidense welcome Amon Jeugd Gentson on Sunday.

Vincent Mommer's defensive intensity carried RBC Belgrade to a commanding 84–57 victory over St.-Truidense in Group A play. The RBC forward finished with 12 points, 5 rebounds and a game-high 5 steals across 20 minutes, though his shooting touch was inconsistent — he made just 5 of 12 attempts from the field, including 2 of 8 from three. The 27-point margin tells the real story. This was never close, and Mommer's ball-hawking on the perimeter set the tone early. Five steals in a third of the game reflects a team playing suffocating defence, and RBC Belgrade took full advantage of St.-Truidense's struggles to build the kind of cushion that allowed rotation minutes and rest. What stands out is Mommer's efficiency despite the shooting numbers — he was where he needed to be, pressuring the ball and forcing decisions. A single turnover in 20 minutes shows discipline too. RBC Belgrade host their next fixture in Group A with momentum on their side.

RBC Belgrade proved too sharp early and too deep throughout, dismantling St.-Truidense 84–57 to stretch their winning streak to five straight. The 27-point margin flatters no one: Belgrade's balance and discipline from the opening tip made this a rout. The hosts set the tone in the first quarter, outscoring their guests 24–11 to establish control that never wavered. By half-time, Belgrade led 41–22—a 19-point cushion that reflected a near-total dominance in pace and decision-making. A 20–13 third quarter extended their lead to 26 points, and when Florentin Hucorne and company built a 28-point advantage early in the fourth (63–35 with 9:33 remaining), the result had long been settled. St.-Truidense scraped together some dignity with a 13-0 run mid-quarter to cut it to 63–48, but Belgrade's bench and reserves were content to manage the clock from there. The final quarter went to Belgrade by just one point (23–22), a trivial detail in a game that was never competitive after the opening minutes. Hucorne led Belgrade with 18 points on efficient 6/11 shooting, adding three three-pointers. Lucas Démoulin posted 12 points and 3 blocks, while Vincent Mommer chipped in 12 points and 5 steals in a balanced offensive night. For St.-Truidense, Yannick Ravert compiled a double-double of 15 points and 15 rebounds despite poor shooting (4/13), and Shawn Mousseau grabbed 12 boards with 10 points, but neither could stem the tide. Belgrade improve to 5–1 in Group A. They travel to Phantoms Basket Boom on Saturday. St.-Truidense fall to 2–4 and will host Gembo Borgerhout on Sunday, seeking an end to four straight losses.

Sabri Riahi poured in 23 points on 8-of-13 shooting as Royal IV Brussels dismantled St.-Truidense 90–70 in Group A play. The visiting guard was efficient from three (3/4) and spotless from the line (4/4 FT), adding three steals across 30 minutes — a performance that underscored the gap between the two sides. St.-Truidense never found a foothold. Royal IV Brussels' 20-point margin at full-time felt closer than the gulf on the floor; Riahi's accuracy set the tone early and the hosts had no answer for the Brussels attack. Next up: Royal IV Brussels hosts their next Group A fixture.

Royal IV Brussels overpowered St.-Truidense from the third quarter onward, coasting to a 20-point win in Group A play. The hosts trailed by just five at the break (40–45), but Brussels' defense tightened in the second half, outscoring St.-Truidense 45–30 across the final two periods to seize control. The decisive damage came in the fourth quarter. A midway 11-0 run — from 60–72 to 60–83 — buried any chance of a St.-Truidense comeback. Brussels' lead swelled to 23 points with 2:41 remaining, and the result was never in doubt thereafter. Sabri Riahi led the visitors with 23 points on efficient 8-for-13 shooting, including 3-for-4 from three. Noé Botuli added 20 on 8-for-15 overall, while Christopher De Medina contributed 15 points and 7 rebounds with a team-high 4 assists. For St.-Truidense, Ilias Temsamani managed 14 points and Yannick Ravert 13, but neither could carry their side against Brussels' balanced attack. St.-Truidense travel to RBC Belgrade on Saturday; Royal IV Brussels host Phantoms Basket Boom on Sunday.

St.-Truidense and Royal IV Brussels square off this evening in Top Division Men 2, with Lenn Leenen's St.-Truidense side looking to build on their season scoring prowess. Leenen, averaging 16 points per game, will draw the attention of a Royal IV Brussels defence tasked with containing him—no small order in domestic competition. Royal IV Brussels counter with Christopher De Medina, who has been their consistent scoring outlet at 12 points per game. The match hinges on whether De Medina can find rhythm early or if St.-Truidense's offensive pace overwhelms the visiting side's setup. Tip-off at Tuinwijk is just ahead. Follow along to see how both squads navigate this fixture.

Lenn Leenen carried St.-Truidense's offence at Sporthal De Witte Molen, finishing with 26 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists across 29 minutes — but it was not enough to overcome St-Niklase Condors in a 87–82 defeat. The 9-for-19 shooting night, anchored by a 4-for-4 free-throw line, kept the visitors competitive throughout, though three steals and three turnovers reflected a game that slipped away in the final moments. St.-Truidense trailed by five when the final buzzer sounded in Group A play. Leenen's 26-point effort — his most decisive contribution — underscored the gap between individual effort and team execution; without him, the deficit would have been far steeper, yet his 4-for-13 three-point shooting showed where St.-Truidense's spacing struggled. Next up, St.-Truidense will look to bounce back and arrest what has been a difficult stretch in the division.

St-Niklase Condors held off a St.-Truidense rally to win by five in a back-and-forth Group A matchup decided in the final two minutes. The Condors built an early cushion—leading by 11 midway through the second quarter—but a 29-point second half from St.-Truidense erased that edge entirely. The visitors took a nine-point lead early in the third quarter before Condors found their rhythm. A 10-0 mid-quarter run swung momentum back, pushing the score to 68–58, and though St.-Truidense clawed back to make it a one-possession game down the stretch, Condors closed out the fourth quarter matched point-for-point to seal the 87–82 result. Jean Barekiragaba led the Condors with 17 points on efficient shooting (6/11 FG, 3/5 three), while Anton Huyghe added 16 points and 8 rebounds, and Senne Geukens contributed 16 points with 6 assists. Lenn Leenen carried St.-Truidense with a game-high 26 points, though his 9/19 shooting reflected the Condors' defensive pressure down the stretch. Condors travel to Phantoms Basket Boom this Saturday. St.-Truidense host Royal IV Brussels on the same day.

Sint-Niklaas hosts Truiden tonight in a Top Division Men fixture that hinges on two sharp perimeter scorers in contrasting form. Senne Geukens has been Sint-Niklaas's engine this season, averaging 16.5 points per game. Lenn Leenen, Truiden's leading option, sits at 14.3 PPG — a few possessions' difference on any given night, but it underscores how much Sint-Niklaas have leaned on their primary offensive threat. The gap widens and narrows depending on who's running hot, and both teams will scheme accordingly: Geukens will draw attention, opening lanes; Leenen will hunt for space in return. Tip-off is at Sporthal De Witte Molen in Sint-Niklaas. Catch it live to see which attack finds rhythm first.

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.

St.-Truidense held off a spirited second-half comeback to take down Union BC Quaregnon 77–66 in Group A play, pulling away late to secure an 11-point margin that felt harder-fought than the scoreline suggests. The game stayed tight early. St.-Truidense led 21–20 after one, then extended to 36–33 at half-time with a 15-point second quarter. Union BC Quaregnon clawed back with an 8-0 run in the third that closed the gap to 41–40 mid-quarter, but St.-Truidense answered with a 20–12 third-quarter edge to reach 56–45 heading into the fourth. The home side's cushion ballooned to as much as 13 points with 15 seconds left, though Union BC Quaregnon matched St.-Truidense 21–21 in the final frame to make it respectable. Rune Ponsaers and Lenn Leenen powered St.-Truidense's attack. Ponsaers finished with 18 points and 8 rebounds on 8-of-17 shooting, while Leenen added 18 points on 6 of 14 with four three-pointers and 7 assists. Noa Lacrosse contributed 11 points and 6 boards on efficient 4-of-6 work from the floor. Anthony Tshiteya-Tshimbula led Union BC Quaregnon with 19 points on 7-of-12 shooting and a pair of threes, but lacked enough support to bridge the gap. Sven Poisson chipped in 11 points on limited volume. St.-Truidense visit Royal Nivelles Basketball on Sunday 20 September.

Lenn Leenen steered St.-Truidense past Union BC Quaregnon with 18 points, 7 assists and a team-high efficiency rating across 26 minutes at Tuinwijk. The guard's 6-of-14 shooting (4-of-10 from three) and 2-of-3 free throws translated to a 77–66 home win, an 11-point margin that reflected clear control through Group A play. Leenen's ball movement—seven dimes against just one turnover—kept St.-Truidense's offence ticking over a Quaregnon side that never found rhythm. His interior touch stayed sharp despite a modest overall field-goal percentage, and the distributional work gave him the nod on efficiency despite a rebound column that read empty. The gap widened in the second half, and Leenen's steadiness in the backcourt was central to that. Next up: a road fixture that will test whether this level of play travels.

Shawn Mousseau's 16 points on 7-of-12 shooting propelled St.-Truidense past Phantoms Basket Boom 79–69 at home, a ten-point margin that reflected control rather than drama. The forward worked efficiently through thirty minutes, adding six rebounds and four assists while turning the ball over just once, and his perimeter touch—2 of 2 from three—gave St.-Truidense a spacing weapon that the defence had to respect. Mousseau's game was built on clean basketball. Three steals showed his activity on the other end; he fouled only three times across the full half-hour. The free-throw line went unused (0 of 0), a sign he wasn't forcing contact but rather letting the jumper and the drive do their work within flow. St.-Truidense's ten-point win was a thorough one, and Mousseau's balance—ball movement, shot-making, defence—was the template for how they did it. Group A play continues ahead.

St.-Truidense pulled away late to hold off Phantoms Basket Boom, 79–69, in a Group A contest that swung sharply across four quarters. Phantoms Basket Boom started strong, leading 12 points midway through the first quarter before St.-Truidense clawed back into it. At half-time the score stood 23–34, still in Boom's favour. The third quarter became St.-Truidense's turning point. They outscored Phantoms Basket Boom 29–19 in the period to seize a 52–53 lead — their first of the match — going into the fourth. Phantoms Basket Boom mounted a mid-quarter push, reeling off a 10-0 run to edge ahead 55–52, but St.-Truidense had the final answer. They built their lead to 13 with just over a minute remaining and held firm down the stretch. Noa Lacrosse was nearly perfect for St.-Truidense, hitting 18 points on 7/9 shooting with a clean 3/3 from three. Shawn Mousseau added 16 points, 6 rebounds and 4 assists; Ilias Temsamani chipped in 14 and 5 boards. For Phantoms Basket Boom, Mitchel Gorremans and Bert Van De Broek each managed 12 points, but neither could find consistent rhythm from the field. St.-Truidense host Union BC Quaregnon on Saturday, 12 September. Phantoms Basket Boom visit Royal Nivelles Basketball the same day.

Rune Ponsaers carried St.-Truidense on the boards through a losing effort against Bavi Vilvoorde, pulling down 17 rebounds across 38 minutes — a statement of effort that could not overcome a six-point defeat in the Beker van België group stage. The 13 points came on 4-of-11 shooting, with a perfect 4-for-4 night from the free-throw line. Ponsaers added 2 assists and 1 block, though 2 turnovers and 3 fouls were the tax of his heavy workload. At the other end of the floor, Bavi Vilvoorde's firepower proved decisive as St.-Truidense fell 82–76 at home. The rebounding battle was Ponsaers's domain — 17 boards is the kind of glass work that keeps possessions alive — but it was not enough to generate the scoring his side needed. St.-Truidense's group stage campaign ends here, and a six-point loss underlines how narrow the margin was between progression and exit in a competition that demanded both consistency and punch.

🏀 Final: St.-Truidense 76–82 Bavi Vilvoorde. Top: Lenn Leenen 16 PTS.

Yannick Ravert shot the lights out for St.-Truidense, finishing with 16 points, 3 rebounds, 1 assist and 2 steals in 28 minutes on an efficient 7-for-9 from the field. The decisive margin was just one point — St.-Truidense held on to beat Royal IV Brussels 69–68 away in the Beker van België group stage, and Ravert's near-perfect night at the rim was the difference. He did not attempt a three-pointer and did not record a block, but he did not need to. In a game decided by inches, his 77.8% shooting efficiency and 2-for-2 accuracy from the free-throw line kept St.-Truidense upright when Royal IV Brussels pressed hard down the stretch. Two turnovers and three fouls showed he was not untouchable — he stayed grounded in the flow of the match — but his touch inside carried the load. Group-stage play in the cup continues to sort itself out. St.-Truidense's next fixture will test whether this kind of precision holds up under the pressure of tighter schedules ahead.
