EuroCup Round of 16 January 17th-20th

by

One series that had to be pushed back started on Monday with top seed Bourges wanting to avoid a repeat of their last series where they trailed after the first game and they crushed 16 seed Brno 79-49 to make it unlikely for them to be challenged.  The series between Charleville and Cukurova that already had the first game postponed last week was further postponed, leaving one game played on Wednesday.  8 seed Nesibe had brought home a 4 point lead and were hopeful of a repeat performance, but 9 seed Olympiacos dominated early and held their early lead for the rest of the game to win 87-68 and advance 166-151 on aggregate.  Another game had to be postponed on Thursday, but three more series finished.  10 seed Polkowice had won narrowly at home and were expecting a fight in Orenburg, but Artemis Spanou helped them keep building their margin and winning this game too 87-68 over 7 seed Nadezhda for a final margin of 162-140.  Top seed Bourges was not expected to have any trouble after a big first win and it went as expected at home with Iliana Rupert being especially impressive in a 94-55 win to get them past 16 seed Brno 173-104 overall.  2 seed Valencia faced a deficit at home, but overturned it in the first quarter, built a solid lead by halftime and then coasted in the second half for an 86-73 win over Teaira McCowan, Goksen Fitik, and 15 seed Orman to win the aggregate 152-141.

Australian League Round 7 January 12th-17th

After the entirety of the last round was postponed, even the game hastily arranged to try to reduce the schedule for later in the season, a new set of games started on Wednesday.  It ended up making up for some of the lost time as the inside-outside combination of Lauren Scherf and Marina Mabrey helped Perth force overtime and then win 83-79 against Sara Blicavs and Southside.  It was Mabrina Mabrey again for Perth on Friday that helped them start fast on their way to an 88-69 win over Canberra.  Saturday’s game was between the city rivals and Melbourne fended off Southside 75-72.  The round ended with a good game on Monday with Perth having to host far away from home in Ballarat and Tiffany Mitchell and Melbourne did enough late to win 80-77.

Galatasaray was healthy enough to play again, but their continental game was postponed so they were able to play their game from the last round on Wednesday, but they were surprised by Brooque Williams and Kayseri 61-58.  Three games were played on Saturday including Galatasaray falling again, this time to Botas 75-65.  Cukurova returned from their pause with a 75-40 win over Kayseri.  Besiktas continued to play well with a 79-74 win over Alaina Coates and Nesibe.  The two new teams in the league played on Sunday and Bursa was led by Merve Ari and Kathleen Doyle in their 77-69 win over Luca Ivankovic and Antalya to continue their ideal start.  The combination of Teaira McCowan and Danielle Robinson paced Orman again, this time in an 86-65 win over Izmit.
