Group B:
The round started on Tuesday in Greece with Olympiacos experiencing more hard luck after Hatay came back and escaped with an 80-76 win. On Wednesday, the titanic matchup between the top two teams lived up to the hype as it went back and forth before Breanna Stewart and Dynamo Kursk came back and kept their perfect record with a 75-71 win over Bria Hartley and Fenerbahce. Kaleena Mosqueda-Lewis could not be stopped from the outside and Haley Peters was excellent again as Charleville fired past Shey Peddy and TTT Riga 100-75. On Thursday, Avenida shuffled their lineup and just managed to fend off a late charge from Sopron to win 68-66 as the middle of this group continues to have twists and turns.
