On Saturday, Mersin recorded an impressive 93-83 win over Fenerbahce behind Yvonne Anderson. Gabriela Marginean and Adana kept Bodrum winless 97-66 despite the continuing efforts of Tearra Banks. A busy Sunday started with Moriah Jefferson leading Galatasaray past Odyssey Sims and Kayseri 75-69. Botas pushed Izmit further from the playoffs with a 76-53 win. Marie Ruzickova and Kahleah Copper teamed up for Orman in an 88-63 win as Istanbul University stranded themselves in danger. Cukurova rotated foreigners a bit ahead of a busy period, but got an unexpected fight from Hatay, relying on the brilliance of Alina Iagupova to stay perfect after a 73-68 win. A rather wild game saw Kelsey Mitchell and Besiktas storm past Kai James and Canik 124-83.
