Success coach Dario Gergeja led Ostend to win the 10th consecutive title in the EuroMillions Basketball League, the top Belgian men’s basketball team. “I am especially happy for the players, because I have a good group with an excellent mixture of experience and youth. However, I did not think that we would become champions ten times in a row,” Gergeja said after winning 62-69 in Bergen. “But I think we deserve that title.”
Loïc Schwartz became the best player in the final after a great season.
