Group A:
On Wednesday, USK Praha looked to be cruising at home behind Katerina Elhotova and Alyssa Thomas, but Brionna Jones and Nadezhda stormed back to force two overtimes, escaping 90-86.

Group B:
Wednesday’s games started in this group as Breanna Stewart and Dynamo Kursk had to fend off TTT Riga again, this time edging Kristine Vitola and company 73-70. Bria Hartley and Fenerbahce kept Olympiacos winless 76-68 despite the best efforts of Anna Spyridopoulou. Riquna Williams proved to be a timely addition for Hatay as they beat Avenida 73-65 to put themselves right back in the picture. There was one game on Thursday with Sopron beating Carolo 80-52 as teams in the middle are finally beginning to separate with the hosts further heartened by the return of Tina Jovanovic from injury.
