EuroCup Round of 8 Game 1 February 23rd-24th

by

The three remaining series started play this week as a pair of games were played on Wednesday.  Anna Stamolamprou had a good game for 9 seed Olympiacos, but Laetitia Guapo and top seed Bourges bring home a solid 73-60 lead.  No math will be needed in one series as 22 seed Lublin and 4 seed Lyon tied at 66 so the winner of their second game will advance.  6 seed Prometey was able to secure an alternative home in Bulgaria for the team ahead of time so they hosted 3 seed Cukurova in Plovdiv in Thursday and Ariel Atkins led them, but the visitors won 86-67.

EuroCup Round of 16 February 16th-17th

After multiple issues with getting this series played on any normal schedule, the games were both played in Mersin on Wednesday and Thursday.  Cukurova played with their designed roster for the first time and had an easy win over 19 seed Charleville in the first game 95-64.  It was a mere formality in the next game for the 3 seed as they won 79-48 for a 174-112 final margin.

EuroCup Round of 8 Game 2 February 2nd

February 2, 2022

There only ended up being one game that could be played this week and it was in one of the Round of 8 series.  2 seed Valencia had brought home a lead, but 10 seed Polkowice chipped away and had leads in the second half that would be enough to advance, but could only win 66-63, which left them short of the upset 148-143 on aggregate.

EuroCup January 25th-27th

by

Games from both the Round of 16 and Round of 8 were played this weekend as scheduling continues to be an issue.  With very tight windows to schedule games in due to other obligations, 21 seed Lublin played their Round of 16 games on consecutive days in France instead of hosting one game.  5 seed Villeneuve led by big margins for some of the game and still won, but Kamiah Smalls did help cut it to 83-73.  The result was expected to be the same when the teams met again on Wednesday, but Martina Fassina and Lublin had other ideas, controlling the entire game for an 85-59 win and flipping the aggregate to their favor 158-142.  On Thursday, 6 seed Prometey had to wait a week for their home game in a Round of 16 series as they had a narrow lead, but Ariel Atkins helped them expand it quickly on their win way to a 79-56 win over 11 seed Braine for a 172-148 final margin.  Postponements in other series meant that the last game of the week was the first Round of 8 series to start as Marie Gulich and 2 seed Valencia had a strong first half in an 8-7 win over Stephanie Mavunga and 10 seed Polkowice.

EuroCup Round of 16 January 17th-20th

by

One series that had to be pushed back started on Monday with top seed Bourges wanting to avoid a repeat of their last series where they trailed after the first game and they crushed 16 seed Brno 79-49 to make it unlikely for them to be challenged.  The series between Charleville and Cukurova that already had the first game postponed last week was further postponed, leaving one game played on Wednesday.  8 seed Nesibe had brought home a 4 point lead and were hopeful of a repeat performance, but 9 seed Olympiacos dominated early and held their early lead for the rest of the game to win 87-68 and advance 166-151 on aggregate.  Another game had to be postponed on Thursday, but three more series finished.  10 seed Polkowice had won narrowly at home and were expecting a fight in Orenburg, but Artemis Spanou helped them keep building their margin and winning this game too 87-68 over 7 seed Nadezhda for a final margin of 162-140.  Top seed Bourges was not expected to have any trouble after a big first win and it went as expected at home with Iliana Rupert being especially impressive in a 94-55 win to get them past 16 seed Brno 173-104 overall.  2 seed Valencia faced a deficit at home, but overturned it in the first quarter, built a solid lead by halftime and then coasted in the second half for an 86-73 win over Teaira McCowan, Goksen Fitik, and 15 seed Orman to win the aggregate 152-141.
