Hatay was still unable to play, but the rest of the games went on as scheduled, starting with a busy Saturday.  The thriller of the day went to overtime as Alina Iagupova paced Cukurova again, getting good games from Kristine Anigwe and Manolya Kurtulmus to push them to a 101-100 win despite Orman getting big games from Riquna Williams, Ashley Walker, and Angel Robinson.  Stephanie Madden did all she could as usual, but Samsun fell to Gabija Meskonyte and Adana 96-47.  Nesibe continues to be a good story while Elazig continues to fall below expectations as Katsiaryna Snytsina led the hosts past Emma Cannon and company 90-74.  Cankaya University outdid their usual rotation antics, playing their starters for the entire game as Shavonte Zellous led them past an Izmit team getting ready for their big game in continental competition.  Courtney Williams led Galatasaray past Botas 75-60.  The lone Sunday game saw Kayla McBride have a strong first game for Fenerbahce in a 91-69 win over Ty Harris and Kayseri.

There had been hopes for four games being played on Saturday, but it ended up being another half round.  Alisia Jenkins and MTK used a fast start to leave Ujbuda with a 78-63 win over BEAC.  Gyor was able to play their first game in weeks and were immediately impressive in stopping a Szekszard team in sizzling form and handing them their first loss 84-78.  The visitors got big games from Reka Dombai and Brianna Kiesel and the delay gave them time to integrate Beatrice Mompremier into their lineup for her overseas debut.  The day ended with Csata beating Pecsi 85-47.

French Cup Round of 32 October 20th-21st

by

The first round of the cup was marred by teams withdrawing due to being unable to field enough healthy players for the game and this round saw Tarbes get awarded a spot in the next round with Toulouse not playing.  Aulnoye was set to host Charnay, but that game was also postponed.  The round name is a misnomer with only 10 teams involved as the first division teams not involved in European play joined at this stage.  Tuesday’s game was between two second tier teams as Reims rolled past Strasbourg 88-56. Joelly Belleka and Chartres gave their higher division foes all they could handle, but Ziomara Morrison helped Nantes leave with an 86-81 win.  Myisha Hines-Allen and Lattes Montpellier shut the door on any possible upset early, beating Tina Trebec and Montbrison 99-71.
