Group B:

The day started with a first look at a full strength UMMC side as they beat Wisla 79-68 in Russia despite the best efforts of Maurita Reid.  The storyline that emerged before the games played out in Istanbul.  Nadezhda only ended up dressing eight players, only handing time to seven of them as they put up a credible fight against Fenerbahce before losing 67-61.  Jolene Anderson was a late arrival after sorting out the paperwork as she nearly led Schio to a win, but Kayla McBride and Yakin Dogu University held on 67-64.  Avenida completely stifled Lattes 64-34 in Spain.
