Date: January 28, 2012
Eighth-ranked Optima Gent (5-11) used its home court advantage to challenge second ranked Okapi Aalstar (10-5) on Saturday. The visitors from Aalst managed to secure only two-point victory 67-65. However their fans expected much easier game. Optima Gent was trailing by 5 points at halftime but managed to get 1-point lead after three quarters before a 26-23 charge of Okapi Aalstar, which allowed them to win the game. They dominated on the defensive end, holding Optima Gent to just 6 points in second quarter. 25 personal fouls committed by Optima Gent helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. American-Lithuanian power forward Christopher Young (206-79, college: Michigan, agency: Court Side) orchestrated the victory with a double-double by scoring 15 points and 12 rebounds. American forward Christopher Copeland (203-84, college: Colorado) contributed with 15 points and 5 rebounds for the winners. American center Graham Brown (205-84, college: Michigan) answered with 8 points and 13 rebounds and the former international point guard Lionel Bosco (176-81, agency: Court Side) added 11 points and 5 assists in the effort for Optima Gent. Okapi Aalstar have a solid series of three victories in a row. They maintain second place with 10-5 record behind leader Spirou. Optima Gent at the other side keeps the eighth position with 11 games lost. Okapi Aalstar are looking forward to face Belgacom Liege (#7) at home in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Optima Gent will have a break next round.
