On Saturday, Hatay continued their strong season with a 66-58 win at Botas. Gelistirenler continues to mix and match their lineup as they beat Yakin Dogu University 72-62. On Sunday, Adana debuted their new roster after drastic changes, but did not stop the losing as they fell 69-61 to Samsun. The Atlanta Dream duo of Angel McCoughtry and Aneika Henry led Mersin to a surprisingly easy win over first place Abdullah Gul University 77-58 although LaToya Sanders continued a string of impressive performances. Jewell Loyd and Nevriye Yilmaz are starting to become a key inside-outside combination as Galatasaray rolled past Orduspor 106-59. Tijana Krivacevic, Elin Eldebrink, and Tierra Ruffin-Pratt did nearly everything for their team, but it was not even close to enough. In the domestic league leg of three straight games between Besiktas and Istanbul University, it was Jelena Milovanovic and Besiktas winning again 76-62. Jantel Lavender gave Allie Quigley some help as Fenerbahce pulled into a tie for first place with an 86-71 win over Olesia Malashenko and Edirnespor.
