Thomas Van Hille stepped into the space Gent-Oost Eagles needed filled, dropping 17 points on efficient shooting to steer his side past Ninane Promotion 86–74 in Group Stage action. The 25-minute performance—6 of 11 from the floor, 4 of 6 at the free-throw line—carried the Eagles clear by 12 at home, a comfortable margin that reflected a clean game in transition. Van Hille's four assists and two steals underscored his work beyond the scoring column; a turnover and two fouls kept the noise to a minimum. He found rhythm early and stayed there, the kind of steady offensive night that doesn't require theatrics to move a team forward. Ninane Promotion couldn't muster enough sustained resistance, and the Eagles' depth proved the difference. Next up: Gent-Oost eyes their next Group Stage test.
