This round was scheduled over multiple days, starting on Wednesday with Nesibe’s 83-72 win over Orman in a battle of teams that have had great starts to the season.  Besiktas continued to play well on Thursday as Erica McCall led them past Aaryn Ellenberg-Wiley and Hatay 84-69.  Cukurova had their game from Round 12 moved for continental play and Shavonte Zellous paced them in an easy 81-53 win over Elazig.  Two additional postponements happened ahead of the weekend, but Satou Sabally and Kayla McBride scored enough between them for Fenerbahce to win in a 106-44 triumph over Izmit on Saturday.  On Sunday, Gamze Takmaz fired Antalya past Elazig 63-58.

The first virus postponement of the season was the game between Charleville and Roche, but the rest of the round was played in the traditional Saturday night timeslot after a long holiday break.  Iva Slonjsak led Angers past Landerneau 69-64.  This season has had an unusual number of games where a player changes teams and immediately faces their previous team as happened in a 77-64 Landes win over Villeneuve.  Lattes Montpellier made changes to their roster recently and got a good game from Sydney Wallace, but fell to Iliana Rupert and Bourges 92-85.  Lyon had a lot of rust to shake off in the first half, but found their rhythm and eventually pulled away from Hainaut for a 67-45 win.  Charnay had emergency surgery on their roster during the break as they fight to preserve their spot in the league, but after a promising start saw Tarbes roll to a 62-41 win.

A game from Round 12 was played on Wednesday and Brasov must be tired of seeing Sepsi at this point having played them three times consecutively, losing 103-37.  All the games that could be played in this round were on Saturday, starting with Sara Hinriksdottir pacing Constanta in a 77-69 overtime win over Targu Secuiesc.  Andreona Keys led Arad past Alexandria 63-44.  Two of the league’s most experienced players put on a show as Ancuta Stoenescu and Targoviste just edged Biljana Pesovic and Brasov 75-74.  Brianna Fraser helped Sepsi crush Targu Mures 113-40.  Sparkle Taylor continued to lead Satu Mare as they won 96-42 over Cluj-Napoca.

All four quarterfinals were played midday Friday, including Maccabi Ashdod’s 81-67 over Shatori Walker-Kimbrough and shorthanded Ramat Hasharon.  Yarden Danan caught fire behind behind the arc for Elitzur Holon and that proved to be the difference as they were able to offset a great game from Alisia Jenkins and a triple-double from Linnae Harper to win 74-72.  Jordan Hooper and Hapoel Petah Tikva actually had the better start, but Jennie Simms ended up being unstoppable and Dekeiya Cohen also chipped in as Hapoel Rishon eventually ran out 96-69 winners.  Bernice Mosby and Maccabi Haifa cruised past Elitzur Tel Aviv, which was led by Noa Zelivanski down an import, 83-70.

One series concluded quickly last Thursday as Brianna Fraser and Alina Podar helped Sepsi record a massive final margin as a 115-55 second game win over Biljana Pesovic, Ecaterina Armanu, and Brasov pushed the aggregate 240-101.  On Wednesday, Constanta won 86-59 over Targoviste to stretch the final margin to 163-115.  Satu Mare brought home a narrow lead and holding off Andreona Keys and Arad 76-75 was enough to advance 147-139.  The last series concluded on Thursday in Targu Mures with no complicated calculations needed after a tie in the first game.  The second game was close too, but Alexandria edged Sirius 49-43 to advance.
