On Friday, Estudiantes was working towards their first win, but Jamie Weisner and Ferrol used a big second half to win 75-59. The highlight of the round was certainly Saturday’s opener between the league powerhouses. Avenida showed that they are still the favorites after winning 66-61 in Girona. Gipuzkoa’s monster fourth quarter got them the 75-71 win at Zamarat. Bembibre beat Araski 68-55 as Saicha Grant-Allen had a strong professional debut. Sedis had a surprisingly easy time beating Al-Qazeres 70-39. Sunday started with Sant Adria beating Promete 91-71. Zarazoa then beat Gernika 90-69.
