Group B:
On Wednesday, Bourges put themselves back in contention to advance by going to Turkey and beating Abdullah Gul University 62-55. DeWanna Bonner may have won the individual battle with two of her Phoenix Mercury teammates, but it was USK Praha looking like defending champions again as Kia Vaughn and Sonja Petrovic led them to a 67-59 win over Nadezhda. Noemi Jordana and the astute signing of Chrissy Givens helped Girona climb back into the picture of at least the EuroCup as they dealt Anastasia Logunova and Castors Braine a crucial 76-69 blow. On Thursday, UMMC Ekaterinburg halted any momentum that Wisla Krakow may have had as Diana Taurasi led them to an 89-48 win.
