Regular Season Round 22: Liege - Oostende 82-71

Date: February 28, 2014
There was a small surprise when fourth ranked Liege Basket (15-6) beat at home much higher ranked Oostende (15-5) 82-71 on Friday. Oostende was trailing by 7 points at halftime but managed to get 3-point lead after three quarters before a 22-8 charge of Liege Basket, which allowed them to win the game. They looked well-organized offensively handing out 24 assists comparing to just 7 passes made by Oostende's players. American center Kenneth Simms (205-86, college: Cumberland, agency: Two Points) had a double-double by scoring 17 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists to lead the charge for the winners and international power forward Ioannis Iarochevitch (207-89, agency: LBM Management) chipped in 24 points and 7 rebounds during the contest. At the losing side American guard Ryan Thompson (198-89, college: Rider) responded with 20 points (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field) and his fellow American import Wesley Wilkinson (206-84, college: Nebraska) scored 18 points (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field). Oostende's coach Dario Gjergja rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Liege Basket moved-up to third place, which they share with M.Hainaut. Defending champion Oostende keeps the second position with five games lost. Liege Basket will face Basic-Fit Brussels (#9) on the road in the next round where they are favorite. Oostende will play against the league's leader Spirou Charleroi (#1) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
