Group A:
A busy Wednesday continued to clear up the picture in the group. Dynamo Kursk overcame a solid effort from Zuzana Zirkova and pulled away in the second half to beat Good Angels Kosice 64-53. Fenerbahce continued to lead the group and virtually guaranteed itself the top spot as Jantel Lavender led them to a 69-52 win at Sopron. Lynetta Kizer had a critical performance for Galatasaray as they fended off Villeneuve 66-62, making it likely that the current four teams at the top of the standings will be the ones moving on to the quarterfinals. Avenida was the only home team to win, beating Schio 63-52 to give themselves a reasonable shot at the last EuroCup slot while creating a three way tie for second place.
