A number of games had to be played ahead of the final day of the regular season. Two teams with title aspirations met on Wednesday to complete Round 18 after continental distractions and it is still Fenerbahce with the advantage after Alina Iagupova and Satou Sabally teamed up to lead them to an 80-73 win over Cukurova as both teams will have complicated lineup decisions if they meet later. A pair of Round 21 games were played on Saturday, including Nesibe surprising Sinem Atas and Cukurova 88-83. Izmit will need major help to avoid the drop now after running out of steam in the second half and losing to Galatasaray 74-63. Fenerbahce found themselves trailing Jelena Dubljevic and Botas at the half, but Alina Iagupova led them to an 85-78 win.
