The first game on Saturday meant extra basketball as Adana finally won 80-72 in overtime at Mersin. Alex Bentley and Alysha Clark lead the way for the winners while Tiffany Hayes paced the hosts. Yakin Dogu University looked very solid in a 72-64 win over previously undefeated Galatasaray. Allie Quigley and Fenerbahce proved they are still the class of the league with a 73-58 win over Abdullah Gul University. Tan White and Istanbul University beat Jamierra Faulkner and MBK Dogus Hastanesi 79-74. On Sunday, Odyssey Sims and Botas kept Girne University winless 74-61. Viktoria Mircheva and Canik Belediye picked up their first win 67-55 over Osmaniye although Riquna Williams did return from injury in the loss. Iva Perovanovic and Besiktas also picked up their first win by edging a Hatay team looking to recapture last season’s magic 68-64.
