Cage out with illness - Dexia Mons suffered a significant roster blow in late December/early January when it came to light that forward Justin Cage (Xavier) would be out indefinitely due to an illness (pneumonia). The news prompted Mons (pictured left: team photo) to sign power forward Ahmad Nivins (St. Joes) for the rest of the season.
Mons in January - The club returned to Belgian League play on January 8 at Verviers-Pep. Mons not only had the difficult task of shaking off the holiday rust, but they also had to find a chemistry without one of their glue guys in Justin Cage. DMH led by five after the first three quarters, but could not hold off a surging Verviers in the 4th, losing on the road 88-83.The next game was in the prestigous Spiroudome on Jan. 11 against Belgian power Charleroi. Former Buckeye Ron Lewis dropped 24 points on the big stage, but Mons would only have two other double figure scorers (Ben McCauley 10, Shan Foster 15) in another defeat (79-67). The Foxes finally got some relief in the form of a home game at Mons Arena vs Gent on January. Just like the game with Verviers, Mons would lead Gent throughout the first three periods, except this time they would hold on in the final quarter 70-62. DMH is currently 9-4 & third place in the Belgian league standings. The next game in Belgium is a road contest at Leuven on Jan.22
FIBA Time: The start of the Eurochallenge Last 16 schedule is right around the corner. Mons' first game is this Tuesday (Jan. 18) in the country of Slovenia vs KK KRKA.
