Mathieu Coucke carried Basket Waregem past United Basket Woluwe with 24 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 39 minutes, finishing a 100–88 road win on 6/16 shooting (6/14 from three, 6/8 from the line) with just one turnover and a steal. The performance was steady rather than explosive — he hit his threes when it mattered and stayed clean with the ball — and it proved enough to put the game away by 12 in Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe.
Coucke's work at the free-throw line (perfect 6-for-8) underscored a willingness to attack downhill even when his three-point stroke wasn't falling at an elite rate. That balance—capable of both perimeter creation and driving to the rim—kept Woluwe honest and tilted the tempo in Waregem's favour throughout.
The road win pushes Basket Waregem forward in Top Division Men 1 regular season play. Woluwe will look to bounce back when the teams meet again.
Andrej Cuyvers turned the ball over four times and still dominated. That tells you something about how thoroughly he took over this one.
The BC Guco Lier guard finished with 42 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists on 14-of-18 shooting—including 8-of-10 from three—in 37 minutes as his side dismantled Windrose Giants Antwerp B, 111–82, in the Top Division Men 1 regular season. The 29-point margin barely reflected how lopsided it became; Cuyvers efficiency early essentially settled the affair. He was nearly automatic from deep, the kind of shooting night where every contested three feels like it's dropping before it leaves his hands. His 6-of-8 performance from the line kept the free-throw column clean as well.
This was Cuyvers at his most clinical. Not a defensive showcase—zero steals, zero blocks—but an evening where he simply couldn't miss and rarely needed to do much else. BC Guco Lier's next fixture will come with considerably higher stakes; blowout wins like this one, however impressive individually, tend to compress themselves into footnotes. What matters now is whether they can carry this shooting form into their next outing.
Zlatan Jakara and Max Bulens are essentially running neck-and-neck on the TIB Efficiency meter heading into this matchup — 69.6 to 69.8 — but their scoring accents tell slightly different stories. Jakara has been the more prolific offensive engine for Windrose Giants Antwerp B, averaging 21.3 points per game in recent weeks, while Bulens operates as more of a floor catalyst for BC Guco Lier, posting 17 PPG alongside his 3.5 assists.
The separation in scoring volume matters here. Jakara's ball-handling and shot diet have made him a harder assignment to blunt defensively, and Lier will need more than just assignment defense if they're to keep him in check. For Antwerp B, the counter is equally straightforward: Bulens playmaking burden — those 3.5 assists lean into how much Lier relies on his decision-making in open space — means forcing early decisions and denying him rhythm.
Tip-off is in three hours. Watch how these two manage the game's tempo.
Antoine Malliar's 72.3 efficiency rating sits well clear of the field in Belgian club basketball right now, and Basket Waregem will feel that weight tonight. The United Basket Woluwe forward has been a different tier lately — 20.8 points per game on recent form — and his ability to operate both as a scorer and occasional facilitator (1.4 assists) makes him the primary concern on the scouting report.
Timo Casteele figures as Waregem's anchor. The 12-point, 3.5-assist man lacks Malliar's volume and efficiency margin, but his steadier distribution role — moving the ball more regularly — gives his team a different shape. How Waregem constructs its offence around Casteele's playmaking, and whether they can generate enough perimeter attention to loosen Malliar's space, may well decide the first half.
United Basket Woluwe host at Salle Malou. Tip-off in a few hours.
United Basket Woluwe and Basket Waregem meet in Top Division Men 1 tonight, with the hosts looking to lean on Antoine Malliar's scoring punch—the 20.8 PPG lead scorer has been their engine this season. Waregem will counter with Timo Casteele, who averages 12 points per game, but will need more than individual effort to keep pace if Woluwe's offense finds rhythm.
The matchup tips off at Salle Malou in Sint-Lambrechts-Woluwe. Tune in to see how Woluwe's offensive identity plays out against a Waregem side working to stay competitive in the league.
Windrose Giants Antwerp B host BC Guco Lier in the Top Division Men 1 later today, a domestic matchup with the Heylen Vastgoed Basketcampus as the stage. Antwerp B will lean heavily on Zlatan Jakara, who is averaging 21.3 points per game this season and remains their primary scoring outlet. Lier counter with Max Bulens, averaging 17 points per game and their own reliable source of offense.
The early tipoff gives both squads a chance to stake their ground in the division. How each team manages the pace and executes in transition will likely decide this one. Catch it live from Antwerpen.
Tristan Boone finished with 19 points, 3 rebounds and 2 assists in 28 minutes as Basket SKT Ieper pulled away for a 95–84 home victory over Kontich Wolves.
Boone's shooting was the steady hand Ieper needed. He made 5 of 9 from the field, including 2 of 5 three-pointers, and went a perfect 7 for 7 at the free-throw line — an 11-point margin won through control more than heroics. Two turnovers in the game's flow kept the efficiency clean; one steal underscored his work on the other end.
The win kept Ieper's regular season on track. Kontich fought but could not close the gap in the second half.
Tristan Boone carried Basket SKT Ieper past Kontich Wolves with a composed 19-point showing at Stedelijke Sporthal 1 Ieper. The guard ran through 5 of 9 from the field, buried both his three-point attempts that fell (2/5), and went a perfect 7 for 7 from the line in 28 minutes — the kind of clean, efficient night that made the 11-point margin feel earned rather than fortunate.
Kontich fought to keep pace through stretches, but Basket SKT Ieper's control showed. Boone's contributions beyond scoring — two assists and a steal — underscored a performance that did its job without needing to dominate the ball. The turnover burden stayed light (2) and fouls even lighter (1), a sign of a player who understood the game's tempo and texture.
Next up: Basket SKT Ieper continues regular-season play, while Kontich Wolves look to bounce back.
Basket SKT Ieper held off a spirited second-half rally to edge Kontich Wolves 95–84, pulling away decisively in the fourth quarter after the visitors clawed back from a 18-point hole.
Ieper controlled the opening half, building a 52–36 halftime lead behind balanced scoring and a 22–17 first-quarter advantage that widened through the second. Kontich's third quarter was a different story: Wolves outscored Ieper 30–14, including an 8–0 run midway through to level the game at 66–66 heading into the final frame. The fourth quarter became the decider. Ieper reasserted itself with a 29–18 closing stretch, closing out a hard-fought win without ever surrendering control when it Matteo most.
Tristan Boone and Matteo Verstraete each finished with 19 points to lead Ieper's attack. Boone shot cleanly from beyond the arc (2/5 threes) and was perfect from the stripe (7/7 FT), while Verstraete added more volume: 7/12 from the field including 4/8 from three. Robbe Van Den Bossche contributed 16 points on 4/8 shooting. For Kontich, Yannick Desiron was relentless, putting up 34 points on an efficient 13/18, though the offensive load fell too heavily on his shoulders down the stretch.
Ieper travel to Bavi Vilvoorde on Sunday 20 September.

Landon Unruh carved up the glass in AB0 LDP Donza's 71–66 win over BBC Croonen Lommel, finishing with 17 points, 14 rebounds, 6 steals and 2 assists across 35 minutes. He shot 7-of-16 from the floor, including 1-of-6 from three, and 2-of-3 at the line—a workmanlike efficiency that anchored the home side's five-point margin.
The rebound total and steal count tell the real story. Unruh's activity on both ends, particularly his ball-security work (3 turnovers in 35 minutes), gave AB0 LDP Donza the edge in a tight regular-season affair. BBC Croonen Lommel pushed hard but never quite leveled, leaving the hosts to secure a genuinely competitive victory.
Sam Lambrecht was Avanti Brugge 2015's steadiest hand in a 79–73 home win over Neufchâteau, finishing with 17 points on just 25 minutes of work. He shot 5 of 13 from the field but made the shots that mattered: five of 10 from three, a clean 2 of 2 at the line, and zero turnovers in his time on court.
The margin was tight enough that Lambrecht's efficiency—hitting deep looks without forcing the issue—became the difference. Neufchâteau stayed within arm's reach throughout, but Avanti Brugge 2015 held the thread and closed it out.
A solid outing from Lambrecht sets the tone for what comes next in the Top Division Men 1.
Roby Rogiers ran the floor with surgical precision for Basket Willebroek on Tuesday night. The guard finished with 17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and a steal-heavy 5 steals across 23 minutes, while committing zero turnovers — a clean offensive line that reflected his control of the game's tempo.
Willebroek's 106–84 home win over Windrose Giants Antwerp B was never in doubt, but Rogiers efficiency sustained it. He shot 7 of 12 from the field and 3 of 4 from the line, doing damage without forcing anything. The five steals underscore a defensive engagement that few guards deliver in such volume; add three blocks and you have a two-way floor performance rarely seen in the same half-hour stretch.
A 22-point margin is lopsided, and Rogiers turnover-free night suggests Willebroek's offense moved with purpose. He did not need to carry a heavy load — just facilitate and defend — and that restraint is often a sign of a team playing within itself.
Jens Bouckaert made his mark on 't wit zand with 18 points, 10 rebounds and three blocks in 27 minutes as Basics Melsele-Beveren dismantled Bavi Vilvoorde 91–72. The forward shot 7-for-13 from the field and connected on four three-pointers, doing his work on both ends without fouling out despite the physical nature of the matchup.
The 19-point margin tells the real story: Basics Melsele-Beveren never let Vilvoorde into the game. Bouckaert's rebounding and interior presence anchored a defensive effort that kept the visitors off balance, and his perimeter shooting—4 of 7 from distance—stretched Vilvoorde's defence thin. He turned the ball over twice and picked up three fouls, the minor blemishes in an otherwise controlled outing.
For Basics Melsele-Beveren, the depth of this victory rested on more than one player, but Bouckaert's balance on the glass and floor set the tone. Vilvoorde faces the harder questions heading into their next fixture.
