Our U16 Belgian Lions have regained their winning ways as they defeated the Czech Republic with the 87-93 final score and now head to the Classification game for 5th place at the U16 European Championship (Div. B). The Czech Republic actually got off to the best start, despite only dressing 6 players (due to a stomach bug…
Our U16 Belgian Lions didn’t rest on their laurels in their final group game of the U16 European Championship (Div. B). Despite already being qualified for the Quarter-Finals our youngsters came out swinging against the winless Austria team and pretty much decided the game in the first couple of minutes with an 11-0 run. The run never…
4 down, 1 to go. Our U16 Belgian Lions remain faultless at the U16 European Championship (Div. B) as they defeated Great-Britain with the very convincing 70-105 final score. Our youngsters were on fire from the start and controlled the game throughout, giving coach Yvan De Vreught plenty of opportunity to rotate with his entire roster. Four…
Our U16 Belgian Lions have moved to a 2-0 record at the U16 European Championship (Div. B) after defeating Slovakia (82-52) yesterday and Romania today (63-71). In those 2 games it has been returnee from last summer’s U16 tournament Thijs De Ridder who has been our main performer with his 15.0 ppg & 10.0 rpg so far. Sean Pouedet…
Our U18 Belgian Lions finished their U18 European Championship (Div. B) with a 10th spot in the final standings after losing their final game of the tournament against Ukraine earlier this afternoon. It’s a somewhat dissapointing and unlucky end result for a team that demolished the majority of their opponents and only had one off-game, against Poland….
There won’t be a finals for our U20 Belgian Lions who couldn’t find their rhythm against the Czech Republic and take the 82-64 loss. Unable to get to the basket against the Czech defense our youngsters blasted away from long-range with very minimal success (6/30 on 3pt shots) and it was only Haris Bratanović who was able to put…
Our U18 Belgian Cats have gone through a difficult opening round at their European Championship in Group A. After big losses against Italy and Croatia, they now narrowly missed their first win of the tournament this evening against Germany. Throughout the game our young Cats kept the victory within their grasp but in the end Germany was…
The Belgian Lions remained undefeated in the European Championship Pre-Qualifiers as they easily put aside Iceland with the 90-62 final score. Despite playing with a heavily altered roster – which included 3 youngsters who were getting their first minutes with the National Team – the Belgian Lions overcame a somewhat slow start to fairly easily pull away…
The Belgian Lions did what they were supposed to do as they defeated Portugal on the road with the 60-70 final score. It was anything but an easy victory though. The Portuguese came out with a lot of intensity, while our Lions struggled to hit the few open shots they received and so at the half our…
The Belgian Lions have opened their 2-game road-trip with a win in Iceland. Despite falling behind in a fairly rough opening quarter against the energetic Icelandic defense the Lions picked things up in the second quarter to slowly chip away at the deficit and eventually went up and over for the 34-43 lead at the half. The…
