Len Bastiaenssen carried Gembo Borgerhout as far as it would go in the Beker van België, but 20 points and eight rebounds were not quite enough to overturn a two-point deficit at home. The forward shot 5-of-13 from the floor, yet made 10 of 11 free throws to lead Gembo's scoring in the 1/16 Finals loss to Ninane Promotion. He added three assists and worked 34 minutes as his team pushed late but fell short at 73–75. The missed opportunities from the field — particularly the lone three-point attempt that did not fall — left thin margins in a tight contest that tilted the wrong way. Bastiaenssen's night was a portrait of Belgian cup basketball: resourcefulness and effort constrained by cold shooting, where a few makes from distance might have changed the story. Gembo's campaign in the competition ends here.
