FIBA EuroCup Women: Valencia BC (SPA) has given no hope to Basket Namur Capitale (BEL) at the Hall Octave Henry in Saint-Servais, Belgium on Nov. 25th, 2021

Image
Sometimes, there are games that clubs' staff would like to forget as soon as possible... That's probably the case for the management staff and players of Basket Namur Capitale , last season's Belgian Top Division I Women title-holder, after the heavy loss recorded against Valencia BC in Game Day 5 of the FIBA EuroCup Women regular season. Valencia BC won the EuroCup Women title in 2020-2021 and also defeated the Russian powerhouse UMMC Ekaterinburg in the SuperCup Women 2021. The SuperCup Women is the opening event of the basketball calendar that traditionally sees the reigning EuroCup Women champions take on the EuroLeague Women title-holders. On the home floor at the Pabellon Municipal Fuente de San Luis , Valencia BC did upset last season's EuroLeague winner UMMC Ekaterinburg 73-66 in late October. For the first time in the club's history, Valencia BC won therefore the SuperCup Women title. As a matter of fact, only six different clubs have won the

Image
Bert and his son attended the Proximus Spirou Charleroi vs. BC Telenet Oostende basketball game at the Spiroudome on Oct. 28th, 2016. The one and only Belgian basketball "Clásico"! They could not have been better seated, at first row right behind the bench of BC Oostende . Nice to follow the speeches, mood swings and pep talks of BCO 's Croatian Coach Dario Gjergja during timeouts! Around 5,000 people attended this excellent basketball game in Charleroi, Belgium.   Serbian forward Marko Keselj (age 28, 2.06 m) and Belgium's national team member Pierre-Antoine Gillet (age 25, 2.01 m), both injured, were unavailable for BC Oostende and the three Belgian international players Kevin Tumba (age 25, 2.06 m), Loic Schwartz (age 23, 1.95 m) and Ioann Iarochevitch (age 27, 2.06 m), on the injured list for Spirou , did not play in the game.   The home side started slowly and did several mistakes in defense, allowing BC Oostende to take the lead in the fi

Image
The 2016-17 NCAA basketball season is now over. The 2017 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Tournament ended with a nice win of Head Coach Roy Williams '  North Carolina Tar Heels who defeated the Gonzaga Bulldogs 71-65 in the championship game played at the University of Phoenix Stadium , Glendale, AZ on 2017-04-03. Just like every year, Bert was asked by the U.S. Basketball Writers Association ( USBWA ) to select up to 10 All-America players (regardless of position). Here is therefore the 2016-17 berthoop.net Men's All-America Team (vote sent by Bert Larsimont to USBWA in early March 2017): Men's All-America 1  Luke Kennard , Duke - guard, 1.96 m, born in 1996, USA Men's All-America 2  Frank Mason III , Kansas - point guard, 1.80 m, born in 1994, USA Men's All-America 3  Jayson Tatum , Duke - forward, 2.03 m, born in 1998, USA Men's All-America 4  Josh Jackson , Kansas - guard, 2.03 m, born in 1997, USA Men's All-America 5
