The round of 16 started with a single game on Wednesday. The top seed made their knockout round debut as Reyer went to Saint-Amand and breezed past 17 seed Hainaut 87-58 behind Marie Ruzickova to make their path easier next week when the action moves to Venezia. The rest of the games were played on Thursday, starting all the way in Krasnoyarsk, where Courtney Paris and 4 seed Hatay will bring home a narrow lead after a 70-65 win over 20 seed Enisey. Ieva Krastina and Gunta Basko-Melnbarde had good games for TTT Riga, but the 6 seed will have an uphill battle at home after Krystal Thomas led 11 seed Mersin to an 88-70 win. A close game in Greece saw 10 seed Olympiacos come back to win, but a 65-60 margin means that Nicole Romeo and 7 seed Girona will have a good shot at redeeming themselves at home. Kahleah Copper led 15 seed Gdynia again, but Astou Ndour and 2 seed Virtus Eirene will have a 76-72 lead when the series moves to Ragusa. Clarissa Dos Santos and the 3 seed will bring a solid lead home to Charleville-Mezieres after an 83-62 win over the 14 seed in Bydgoszcz as they brought back a key player as well. One Polish team did win as Sonia Ursu lifted 5 seed Sleza past 12 seed Szekszard 77-72 to bring a small lead home to Wroclaw. One other higher seed faces a tough test at home as 8 seed Good Angels Kosice lost to 9 seed Landes 69-55.
