Regular Season Round 18: Aalstar - Liege 87-66

Date: March 2, 2019
Not a big story in a game when 10th ranked Liege Basket (3-14) was rolled over on the road by sixth ranked Okapi Aalstar (8-10) 87-66. Okapi Aalstar had a 32-19 advantage in offensive rebounds. They shot the lights out from three nailing 16 long-distance shots on high 57.1 percentage. It was a good game for American forward Zach Thomas (201-96, college: Bucknell) who led his team to a victory with 19 points and 9 rebounds (went 8 for 8 at the free throw line). Senne Geukens (192-83) contributed with 19 points and 5 rebounds (perfect from downtown making all five shots) for the winners. Cameroonian center Alexis Wangmene (205-89, college: Texas) replied with a double-double by scoring 16 points and 10 rebounds and Serbian swingman Milos Bojovic (198-81, agency: 011 Sports) added 18 points in the effort for Liege Basket. Four Liege Basket players scored in double figures. Since the result was very predictable, it gave the chance for the coaches to test many bench players and allowed the starting five to get some rest. Okapi Aalstar maintains sixth position with 8-10 record. Liege Basket lost eleventh consecutive game. They stay at the bottom place with 14 games lost. Okapi Aalstar's next round opponent will be higher ranked Belfius Mons-Hainaut (#5) in Jemappes and it may be quite challenging game. Liege Basket will play at home against Kangoeroes (#8) and it may be a tough game between close rivals.
