Mathieu Coucke steered Basket Waregem past Bavi Vilvoorde with a composed all-around display: 15 points, 6 assists and 6 steals across 27 minutes, built on 4-of-9 shooting and a clean 5-for-5 from the line. The seven-point home win hinged on Coucke's control of tempo and ball security—he turned it over just twice—while his six steals underlined his activity on the perimeter. He moved the offense with purpose, the kind of floor management that softens a seven-point margin into something more decisive than the scoreline alone suggests. Waregem did not run away with it. A 78–71 finish means Vilvoorde stayed within reach until the end, and Coucke's efficiency (15 points on 44 percent shooting overall) was not the blitzkrieg performance that wins by 15. Instead it was the steady hand that keeps a win in hand—a guard's game, not a scorer's. Next up: the road awaits.
