All teams played on Saturday. Hatay managed to stay a part of the tie at the top of the standings thanks to another big game from Hind Ben Abdelkader as they beat Erica Wheeler and Besiktas 74-71. Bornova put in their worse performance yet as Cukurova just ran all over them 145-41. Diamond DeShields nearly surpassed their scoring output herself as she got plenty of help from Alina Iagupova, Melis Talay, and Erlana Larkins, who nearly had her own historic performance. Marica Gajic led Mersin past Shay Murphy and Samsun 76-70. Botas now sits behind the trio of teams at the top after a 66-50 win over Istanbul University. They are there alone because Jasmine Thomas fired Orman past Marianna Tolo and Abdullah Gul University 70-56. Adana Aski was allowed to take the court again, but a good game from Odyssey Sims still left them short against Yakin Dogu University 84-69. The day ended with the big rivalry game as Aerial Powers led Fenerbahce past Gintare Petronyte and Galatasaray 79-67.
