Regular Season Round 27: Oostende - M.Hainaut 83-62
Date: March 29, 2014
Ethias League round 27 caused change at the leadership position. Eighth defeat of league's leader Belfius Mons-Hainaut (19-8) against third ranked Oostende (19-7) 83-62 was the most important game of the last round. It ended at the same time the two-game winning streak of Belfius Mons-Hainaut. It was a key game for the top position in the league. The game was mostly controlled by Oostende. Belfius Mons-Hainaut managed to win third quarter 26-25. But it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening. They dominated on the defensive end, holding Belfius Mons-Hainaut to just 7 points in second quarter. Oostende dominated down low during the game scoring 46 of its points in the paint compared to Belfius Mons-Hainaut's 18. 25 personal fouls committed by Belfius Mons-Hainaut helped opponents get some easy free throw opportunities. It was a good game for American guard Ryan Thompson (198-89, college: Rider) who led his team to a victory with 22 points and 5 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field). Polish swingman Mateusz Ponitka (197-93) contributed with 16 points and 6 assists for the winners. American power forward Jason Love (206-87, college: Xavier) answered with a double-double by scoring 14 points and 13 rebounds and the other American import point guard Talor Battle (182-88, college: Penn St.) added 15 points in the effort for Belfius Mons-Hainaut. The winner was already known earlier in the game, so both coaches allowed to play the bench players saving starting five for next games. Defending champion keeps a position of league leader, which they share with Liege. Belfius Mons-Hainaut at the other side dropped to the third place with eight games lost. They were replaced at the leadership position by Oostende. Belfius Mons-Hainaut will play next round against VOO Verviers-Pepinster trying to make it back to the top of the standings. Oostende will try to continue on its current victory against seventh ranked Leuven Bears at home.
