With the first window of EuroBasket 2021 pre-qualification games coming up this Friday and Monday our Belgian Lions have assembled in Mons this week to prepare for their match-ups against Lithuania and Denmark. Unfortunately they will have to do it without Point Guard Manu Lecomte. Lecomte left his club Murcia to join the Lions’ pre-selection…
It’s never easy to find that perfect environment. This past summer talented youngster Ajay Mitchell had a tough decision to make. After 2 very solid European Tournaments with the Belgian National Youth Teams (U16 & U18) and a strong berth at the NBA Academy Games (9.5 ppg) Mitchell had started raising some eyebrows with his clearly visible…
After defeating Sweden with the 53-61 final score our Belgian Cats have qualified for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo and thus make history. It’s becoming a habit for this golden generation of Belgian Cats. After an exciting Qualifying Tournament in front of their home-crowd in Ostend, the Cats have managed to qualify for the Olympics for…
Despite the rough season Brussels Basketball is going through with their future in EuroMillions Basketball still in doubt, there have been some bright spots for them as well. One of those bright spots is definitely the emergence of William Robeyns who in his 2nd year in Brussels (and his 6th overall in the league) is having a break-out season…
Simply amazing! No other words can describe this battle between Japan and our Belgian Cats. In a game that offered pretty much everything a basketball game has to offer our Belgian Cats showed again why they truly belong at the highest stage as they got the 92-84 win. If you didn’t thoroughly enjoy this game then…
Rough.One word which sums up this opening game of our Belgian Cats against Canada. The very physical approach of Canada halted the usual fluid offense of our Cats and after the opening half the low score of 30-23 stood on the scoreboard in advantage of Canada. A highly misleading score as our Cats really had been off…
We all know that the phoenix rises from the ashes of its predecessor… but what about the Brussels’ Phoenix? It’s been 2 weeks since Head Coach Serge Crevecoeur announced his departure of the club at the end of the season. An announcement which left Brussels Basketball reeling and which very likely could mean the end of the club in EuroMillions…
“Coming back stronger”. That seems to be the motivation which drives Hans Vanwijn this season. The 2015-’16 Belgian Youngster of the Year who had been on a steady climb ever since joining the EuroMillions Basketball League in 2013 unexpectedly saw his rise grind to a halt last season when his numbers dropped significantly and although his team…
Another player that has been a dominant performer in #TDM1 so far this season is 19 year old youngster Niels Van den Eynde. Despite his diminutive stature and the fact that this season is actually his rookie season in TDM1 Van Den Eynde doesn’t seem the least bit phazed and continues to do what he…
It’s still a bit early in the season but I’m pretty sure most people can agree that one player in particular has stepped up so far as the main contender for the TDM1 Player Of The Year award. That man is of course: Louis Hazard. The 25 year old swingman took his first steps on the…
