Group A:

On the final Wednesday of group play, Dynamo Kursk finished unbeaten with an 83-73 win over Polkowice.  Crystal Langhorne and Sopron won 57-50 over Bourges to prevent the visitors from jumping a place in the final standings.  USK Praha took that third place as Amanda Zahui B helped them slam the door on Anete Steinberg andCastor Braine’s chances at additional continental play by beating them 75-71.  That result eliminated Galatasaray from the quarterfinals, but they did not know it at the time when they came out of the blocks with no energy in Villeneuve d’Ascq on their way to a 76-62 loss to Johanne Gomis, Johanna Leedham, and the fifth place finishers.

Group B:

Wednesday started with Kayla McBride and Yakin Dogu University taking care of business and grabbing the top spot with a 93-71 win over Emma Cannon and Nadezhda.  That result opened the door for Wisla, which hosted Fenerbahce in Krakow, but they could not climb out of seventh place, falling short 68-62.  Emma Messeeman and UMMC clinched second place and ended a miserable campaign for Courtney Hurt and Lattes Montpellier 100-61.  The day’s final game was important as Avenida needed to win decisively against Schio as each team looked to grab the last spot.  The home fans in Salamanca roared their team on, but a 65-58 lost meant that Isabelle Yacoubou and the visitors would leave with the greater prize.

Group B:

A pair of big games was played on Wednesday.  Yakin Dogu University bounced back to beat Avenida 80-56.  Kelsey Plum was ridiculously efficient with 24 points from 7 field goal attempts and Fenerbahce also got a good game from Anastasia Verameyenka to beat Brittney Griner and UMMC Ekaterinburg 80-77.  On Thursday, Nadezhda showed that they do not want to be done with international competition as they cruised past Lattes Montpellier 100-56 in Orenburg.  Isabelle Yacoubou and Schio had a golden opportunity to put themselves in a great position to advance, but Leonor Rodriguez and Wisla left with a 68-59 win to keep their own hopes of extending their international season alive.

Group A:

This group’s first game of the new year was in Turkey, where Galatasaray did get a star back, but Bourges used a strong second half to win 79-61 thanks to the duo of Valeriane Ayayi and Marine Johannes.  USK Praha was unconvincing, but left Polkowice with a 61-51 win.  Castors pulled closer to Villeneuve in the standings after a 77-61 win as Anete Steinberga and Celeste Trahan-Davis  led the way while Nevena Jovanovic could have used more help from her teammates.  On Thursday, Sonja Petrovic and Dynamo Kursk continued to be the competition’s only undefeated team after an 86-66 win over Sopron.

Group B:

A highly-anticipated game in Ekaterinburg started the day.  UMMC trailed against Kayla McBride and Yakin Dogu University, but Alba Torrens and company seized the lead in the fourth quarter to win 82-77, taking control of the group lead without even having their full team yet.  In Krakow, Wisla surprised lackluster Avenida 52-48.  It took overtime for Aerial Powers to lift Fenerbahce to a 76-75 win in Lattes.  The week ended in Schio, where the Isabelle Yacoubou led the hosts to a 78-64 win and put themselves in sole possession of the critical fourth spot, but Nadezhda will be heartened by the continued emergence of Brionna Jones as they look to salvage sixth place.
