Group A:
The round started on Wednesday out in Ekaterinburg with the hosts stopping some of Nadezhda’s momentum 77-52 and clinching a spot in the next round. The race behind them is tight as Alexia Chartereau led Bourges past USK Praha 81-70. Castors Braine had a good start, but Polkowice controlled the rest of the game to win 94-71. On Thursday, Schio figured that it had momentum and got a good game from Jantel Lavender, but Villeneuve escaped with an 81-75 and kept itself in contention and created a gap as they still have the lead for the parachute into EuroCup.

Cecilia Zandalasini and Fenerbahce rallied late to exorcise some demons from last year’s games against Sopron with an 84-80 win.
