Surprisingly two of the top teams in the Turkish league suffered defeats this round! Both Galatasaray and Fenerbahce lost their games. Fenerbahce to Canik and Galatasaray to third placed Hatay. Perhaps the grueling travel schedule and the physicality of the EuroLeague got the best of these two teams this week. Things were different on Sunday, where Abdullah Gul University did sneak out a win over Gelistirenler to at least score one for the EuroLeague teams. Orduspor beat Yakin Dogo University as all four of their foreigners carried the team to offset strong performances from the Connecticut Sun duo. Edirnespor won their first game after beating Botas. Angel McCoughtry had one of the stronger individual efforts and she got help from at Atlanta Dream teammate as Mersin handed Istanbul University its first loss. Besiktas got their first win and kept Adana winless as Riquna Williams did not get enough help.
