Before games were played on Wednesday, two series had to have games postponed due to different virus complications. The first series to finish saw 15 seed Orman also win at home 72-69 over Brianna Fraser and 18 seed Sepsi to push the final margin to 152-121. Virag Kiss and 25 seed PEAC lost narrowly at home, but managed to win by equal margin on the road to force overtime even with a three point margin between the teams and Alaina Coates helped 8 seed Nesibe win the game 74-71, giving them the 145-139 overall win. No math was need in Orenburg as the teams entered tied and 7 seed Nadezhda rolled past 26 seed Ruzomberok 80-51 for a 166-137 final margin. 9 seed Olympiacos had a solid lead from the first game and doubled it by winning 84-69 over N’Dea Jones and 24 seed Enisey for a 169-139 overall margin. 6 seed Prometey was in good shape after the first game and an 85-54 win over Fribourg just extended that margin to 181-136. The series that was closest in seed was up for grabs and it was Natalie Stoupalova and Brno that built a massive lead in this game to coast to a 76-69 win over Keyona Hayes and 17 seed DVTK and a 137-126 final margin. 10 seed Polkowice had lost in Mechelen, but Feyonda Fitzgerald helped them win by the margin that was necessary to force overtime, which they controlled for a 73-53 win to advance 143-136 past the 23 seed. 11 seed Braine held an advantage and won again 86-79 behind Maxuella Lisowa Mbaka to move the final margin to 172-154 despite Emma Cannon’s best efforts for the 22 seed Elitzur Ramla. Kamiah Smalls and 21 seed Lublin had a big lead from their home game as they were looking to spring an upset and they went ahead and also won at 12 seed Tarbes 63-55 for a 135-110 aggregate win. There was also upset potential after 20 seed Nika Syktyvkar was explosive in their home win and they cracked the century mark again with a 108-98 win behind Hind Ben Abdelkader and Azura Stevens to eliminate Ornella Bankole and 13 seed Roche 211-172. 2 seed Valencia already had a healthy margin and coasted to a 96-51 win over 31 seed Crvena zvezda for a 176-114 overall margin. It was the same case for 4 seed Lyon, which was able to win by an even bigger margin 99-46 against 29 seed Hatay to push the aggregate win to an even 100 points 209-109. 28 seed Tenerife did not look very competitive with a fuller roster last week and this group lost to 5 seed Villeneuve 75-49 to get bounced out 168-105. The last game of the day was in Madrid and 14 seed Estudiantes had won on the road, but could not hold on to their lead in the final quarter, letting Charleville escape with a 60-54 win to flip the aggregate to 135-132 in their favor.
