Regular Season Round 15: Mechelen - Leeuwarden 89-79

Date: January 10, 2026
Not a big story in a game when 16th ranked Dutch Leeuwarden (3-11) lost to third ranked Belgian Kangoeroes (11-4) in Mechelen 79-89 on Saturday. Mechelen made 18-of-18 free shots (100 percent !!!) during the game. It was an exceptional evening for center Seppe Willems (202-1999) who led the winners and scored 21 points and 7 rebounds (on 10-of-12 shooting from the field). American point guard Joshua Heath (186-1994, college: Georgia Tech) accounted for 14 points and 7 assists for the winning side. Five Kangoeroes players scored in double figures. Australian forward Tristan Forsyth (208-1998, college: CBU) came up with 22 points and 6 rebounds (went 8 for 8 at the free throw line) and Canadian guard Shakael Pryce (188, college: Cape Breton, agency: AOK Sports) added 20 points and 5 assists respectively for Leeuwarden in the defeat. Both coaches used bench players which allowed the starters a little rest for the next games. Mechelen maintains third place with 11-4 record having just one point less than leader Antwerp. Leeuwarden lost fourth consecutive game. They keep the sixteenth position with 11 games lost. Mechelen will meet Limburg (#9) on the road in the next round which should be theoretically an easy game. Leeuwarden will play against Union Mons (#13) and hope to secure a win.
