Regular Season Round 7: Kangoeroes - Liege 101-104 OT

Date: November 9, 2013
Bottom-ranked Kangoeroes (0-7) tried to put together a comeback for its first victory of the season, but they fell short in the 104-101 overtime loss to seventh ranked Liege Basket (4-3) in Willebroek. The guests were already 15 points ahead after 3 quarters before a 30-15 Kangoeroes' run in the last quarter tied the game, leading to overtime which they eventually won 19-16. Liege Basket made 37-of-43 charity shots (86.0 percent) during the game. 33 personal fouls committed by Kangoeroes helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was an exceptional evening for American guard Mike Smith (198-87, college: E.Tenn.St., agency: Two Points) who led the winners and scored 30 points (on 11-of-13 shooting from the field). International power forward Ioannis Iarochevitch (207-89, agency: LBM Management) accounted for 21 points and 7 rebounds for the winning side. American guard Luke Loucks (195-90, college: Florida St.) came up with 20 points and 4 assists and the other American import forward Thomas De Thaey (203-91, college: N.Carolina St.) added 18 points and 5 rebounds respectively for Kangoeroes in the defeat. Both teams had five players each who scored in double figures. Kangoeroes' coach Aleksander Peldic rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Liege Basket moved-up to fifth place, which they share with Leuven. Kangoeroes lost their seventh game in a row. Newly promoted team still closes the standings with seven games lost. Liege Basket's next round opponent will be VOO Verviers-Pepinster (#9) at home. Kangoeroes will play against the league's second-placed Spirou Charleroi and hope to get finally their first victory.
