Group B:

Wednesday’s games started in this group as Breanna Stewart and Dynamo Kursk had to fend off TTT Riga again, this time edging Kristine Vitola and company 73-70.  Bria Hartley and Fenerbahce kept Olympiacos winless 76-68 despite the best efforts of Anna Spyridopoulou.  Riquna Williams proved to be a timely addition for Hatay as they beat Avenida 73-65 to put themselves right back in the picture.  There was one game on Thursday with Sopron beating Carolo 80-52 as teams in the middle are finally beginning to separate with the hosts further heartened by the return of Tina Jovanovic from injury.

Group A:

The gap between the halves of this group seems to be pretty large as Polkowice opened Wednesday with a 70-36 win over Nadezhda.  Bourges beat Castors Braine 78-65.  USK Praha had no issues defeating Villeneuve 101-62.  Schio played better in search of their first win, but the schedule did them no favors as they lost to Brittney Griner and Ekaterinburg 82-68.

Group B:

On Wednesday, TTT Riga kept Olympiacos winless 70-51.  Domestic clashes between the top Turkish teams have restrictions that prevent each team’s full roster, but we are guaranteed two games without those restraints here as Fenerbahce held their nerve during a Hatay rally and won 87-74.  Avenida left Charleville-Mezeres with a 75-62 win over Carolo.  Only one game was played on Thursday and it was close until Dynamo Kursk was finally able to get some separation in the fourth quarter behind Tina Charles as the 65-58 win over Sopron kept their perfect record.

Group A:

Wednesday’s games started in Ekaterinburg, where the hosts rolled past USK Praha 87-59 in a battle of unbeatens.  Scoring was at a premium in France as Polkowice escaped Villeneuve 48-45.  Nadezhda rotated non-European players in their search for a first win and it paid off as Erica Wheeler helped Brionna Jones complete a late comeback to win 71-69.  On Thursday, Bourges used a fast start to keep Schio winless 66-55.

The clash of powerhouses lived up to billing, especially with Fenerbahce fielding their full roster, and Tina Charles and Dynamo Kursk found themselves hanging on late to win 64-63.  Shey Peddy and TTT Riga trampled Carolo 73-62.  A battle of WNBA teammates saw Yvonne Turner and Sopron rally past Angel Robinson and Avenida in the second half for a 78-70 win.  On Thursday, Hind Ben Abdelkader and Hatay won 71-55, leaving the standings in an interesting place with Olympiacos still winless, Dynamo Kursk still undefeated, and all six other teams at 2-2.
