"There is no offseason"
April 17, 2017
On Sunday Russian League’s Dynamo Kursk won their first Euroleague Women’s championship. Kursk capped an undefeated Euroleague season with a win over Turkey’s Fenerbahce. Angel McCoughtry lead the way scoring 20 points against her former team and was named MVP of the Final Four. Nneka Ogwumike finished with a double double of 19 points and 10 rebounds and Epiphanny Prince filled up the stat sheet with 18 points, seven assists and four steals.
There weren’t any “upsets” in round four of EuroLeague play. The most interesting game was probably Castors Braine playing UMMC close on their floor and losing only by 5. Also in Group B, Girona and Bourges are still in search of that elusive second win while Wisla is still on the hunt for their first. Orenburg continues to keep pace as their only loss is to undefeated UMMC. AGU Spor and USK Praha both had convincing wins against their opponents. In Group A Dynamo Kursk, Fenerbahce, familia Schio and Galatasaray all had dominant performances in their wins this round.
Looking ahead to round 5 which will be played on the 11th and 12th of November in group A Good Angels Kosice will look to get back in the win column against Familia Schio. After losing to dynamo Kursk by 20 points last round their work will be cut out for them against the Italian club who dominated Avenida. Luckily for Kosice they will be playing on their home court which is always a tough venue to play. This will be a true test to where they stand in the midst of this group where they currently sit in the middle of the pack. Will Good Angels pull off the upset? [Read more…]
