The two series that could not be competed as scheduled were made up this week. 30 seed Gernika had pulled off the upset of the round in the first game, but it was issues on their end that moved the game to Tuesday and they were not in the same rhythm as 3 seed Cukurova, which had been playing its domestic league games. The hosts overturned the entire deficit in the first half, but the visitors did close the gap late and tie the aggregate again, but a 69-40 margin allowed the favorites to advance 128-123. The other series also had an upset in the first game, but Keisha Hampton and Iliana Rupert helped top seed Bourges completely control Wednesday’s game for a 96-65 win to knock out 32 seed London Lions 160-130.
