Date: March 12, 2011
Bottom-ranked Optima Gent managed to get a third victory, breaking the series of thirteen consecutive loses on Saturday night. This time they won against seventh-ranked Belgacom Liege 65-59. The hosts trailed by 8 points after three quarters before their 24-10 charge, which allowed them to win the game. Optima Gent outrebounded Belgacom Liege 39-22 including a 31-18 advantage in defensive rebounds. The best player for the winners was international guard Lionel Bosco (176-81, agency: Court Side) who scored 15 points and 6 assists. American swingman Adam Hall (196-80, college: Virginia) chipped in 14 points and 5 rebounds. Optima Gent's coach Yves Defraigne used a ten-player rotation which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Naturalized DR Congolese swingman Wen Boss Mukubu (198-83, college: UAB, agency: SportsTalent) produced 23 points and 6 rebounds and Croatian center Andrija Stipanovic (208-86) added 15 points respectively for the guests. Optima Gent maintains ninth place with 3-17 record. Belgacom Liege lost their third game in a row. They dropped to the eighth position with 13 games lost. Optima Gent will meet higher ranked Dexia Mons-Hainaut (#3) in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. Belgacom Liege will play against the league's leader Spirou Charleroi (#1) and will have a slim chance for a victory.
