A pair of matchups were finished on Wednesday. Umea actually built on their lead early in Poland, but Gdynia turned things around behind Kahleah Copper and Kristine Vitola to win 77-59 and flip the overall score in their favor 144-130. Landes quickly built on their lead to beat Fribourg 69-57 and advance 140-121. Thursday started in Mersin, where the hosts brought home a big lead from the first game, winning 85-76 to extend the final margin to 166-142. Sepsi tried to keep the dream alive on the road, but Olympiacos quickly overturned the deficit on their way to a 67-56 win, which was enough to make the aggregate 122-115 in their favor. In Bydgoszcz, the hosts had a big lead from the first game and DeNesha Stallworth helped them win 75-71, leaving Kirby Burkholder and DVTK well short 161-139. Nirra Fields and Gyor actually managed to overturn their deficit after one quarter in Szekszard, but Teja Oblak and the hosts regained the lead and won 80-67, increasing the margin to 156-134. Saint-Amant erased any hopes for the hosts early in Wasserburg, coasting to a 65-61 win, which was enough to bring the final margin to 145-108. Namur looked set to turn the tie into their favor, but a 62-56 win was not enough for Mariona Ortiz and company as Enisey held the 125-120 advantage in the end.
