Group B:
A pair of big games was played on Wednesday. Yakin Dogu University bounced back to beat Avenida 80-56. Kelsey Plum was ridiculously efficient with 24 points from 7 field goal attempts and Fenerbahce also got a good game from Anastasia Verameyenka to beat Brittney Griner and UMMC Ekaterinburg 80-77. On Thursday, Nadezhda showed that they do not want to be done with international competition as they cruised past Lattes Montpellier 100-56 in Orenburg. Isabelle Yacoubou and Schio had a golden opportunity to put themselves in a great position to advance, but Leonor Rodriguez and Wisla left with a 68-59 win to keep their own hopes of extending their international season alive.
