Belgium officials are left to ponder the future of women's basketball after Laurent Buffard coached his final game for the national team, leading the Belgians to seventh place at the 2007 EuroBasket Women after Sunday's 72-63 victory against France.

“My mission with the national team is over.  I hope that the Belgian team will be able to qualify for the next EuroBasket,” said Buffard, who leaves Beglium after his arrival in February 2006.

The big stars of the Belgian team are without doubt Ann Wauters and the captain, Kathy Wambe. But during the qualifying round, another shining star was born in 19-year-old Marjorie Capréaux, who played a big role in Belgium’s qualification. She finished third on the team in scoring with 7.5 points per game to go along with six rebounds and eight assists per contest. The 1.65 meter guard has great mobility and extraordinary ball-handling skills and will be one of the players to keep an eye on in Italy.
