Between games of the series, it was learned that Ensino could not play their second game against Valencia yet, but two series concluded on Saturday.  In Salamanca, Avenida rolled past Gran Canaria 95-62 to push the final margin to 175-123.  Girona also had a big lead from the first game and took it easier in the second game with a 74-67 win over Clarinos still enough for a decisive 153-112 aggregate.  This two-game format certainly changed team approaches to each game as a win at home for Estudiantes game them bigger hopes at an upset.  Gernika had to work hard to overturn that deficit and a late push for a 74-64 win was enough to flip the final margin in their favor 116-111.

Three of the series started on Wednesday with one game in Madrid and the other two in the Canary Islands.  The 4-5 series was the only one expected to be close and the first game was quite tense as Estudiantes managed to grind out a 47-42 win over Gernika.  Avenida beat Gran Canaria 80-61.  Over on Tenerife, Adaora Elonu and Girona left with a 79-45 win over Clarinos.  The other series started on Thursday in Lugo with Valencia beating Ensino 69-58.

Several games had to be made up before the last day of the regular season, starting on Wednesday when Valencia beat Bembibre to finish Round 21.  Gernika’s torturous finish continued with a 93-62 loss to Avenida to finish Round 24.  They got a much-needed morale boost on Thursday when they completed Round 26 with a 71-65 win over Basque Country rivals Gipuzkoa.  Promete-Araski had no impact on the final standings so it was played earlier than the simultaneous tipoffs on Saturday and Laia Flores led the hosts past Araski 77-62.  Sedis beat Al-Qazeres 81-69.  In Lugo, Vega Gimeno and Ensino ended Zamarat’s abject season 81-52.  Girona tried to avenge losses to rivals Avenida and send a message ahead of the playoffs, but the visitors left with a 74-67 win.  Estudiantes won 78-71 over Julia Gladkova and Bembibre.  Valencia tried to take of business on their end with an 81-68 win over Mariam Coulibaly and Gipuzkoa.  Gernika’s whirlwind tour finished with a trip to Tenerife and a 64-46 loss to Mariella Fasoula and Clarinos.  Zaragoza played out the string with an 88-56 loss to surging Gran Canaria.

The last game from Round 20 was made up on Tuesday with Estudiantes beating Araski 67-57 after building a lead in the fourth quarter.  Continental schedules prevented this round from being all simultaneous tipoffs as has been the case in the past, but Saturday’s games started in Caceres with the hosts beating Promete 75-69.  Gran Canaria edged Sedis 74-71.  Gernika will have a busy week after returning from continental play as they have the most games to make up, but it started with an easy 87-47 win over Zaragoza.  Clarinos beat Gipuzkoa 76-71.  Valencia had the quickest transition back from other competition and beat Estudiantes 85-68.  Ensino left Basque Country with a 67-65 win over Araski.  On Sunday, Paola Ferrari and Frida Eldebrink showed Girona’s frustration with their elimination from continental play early as they rolled past Victoria Vivians and Zamarat 109-71.  On Monday, Avenida beat Bembibre 76-45.  Valencia was not at their best for a while in Lugo, but eventually beat Ensino 77-52 in a Round 23 game.  Gernika’s busyness continued with a visit of Sedis to close out Round 27, losing

Games continued to need to be made up, starting on Tuesday with a Basque Country matchup from Round 22 as Nogaye Lo led Gernika past Araski 79-70.  Gipuzkoa beat Promete 69-59 in Logrono in a Round 19 game on Wednesday.  Round 22 was completed with Katie Lou Samuelson leading Avenida past Estudiantes 71-52.  This round was spread across the weekend including a trio of games on Friday starting with Maria Araujo and Girona preparing for continental play with an 81-57 win over Araski.  In Lugo, Ensino left Al-Qazeres in precarious position with a 67-61 win.  Sparkle Taylor and Gran Canaria edged Gernika 73-72.  Saturday started with a titanic clash as both teams were preparing for continental competition.  After looking invincible for most of the season, Avenida seems vulnerable now as Tiffany Hayes helped them force overtime in Valencia, but they still lost 85-84.  Batouly Camara and Bembibre got a key win 79-59 over Victoria Vivians and Zamarat.  The day ended on Tenerife with Clarinos fending off Estudiantes 74-71.  Sunday started with an 82-74 win for Maria Erauncetamurgil and Gipuzkoa over Markeisha Gatling and Zaragoza.  Promete fended off a late charge from Sedis in Logrono to win 65-63.

A full midweek round was played on Wednesday.  It was a 76-67 palindrome win for Nesibe over Cankaya University.  Sevgi Tonguc had an impressive triple-double and Kitija Laksa and Maja Miljkovic had big games as Kayseri rolled past Samsun 119-50.  Busra Akbas and Botas edged Orman 68-66.  Astou Ndour dominated in the paint for Hatay, but Anete Steinberga helped Galatasaray, which had to tweak its roster again, win 74-63.  A big battle in the post saw Emma Cannon and Elazig emerge with an 86-79 win over Kristine Anigwe and Cukurova.  Kayla McBride and Fenerbahce stayed perfect with a 96-64 win over Angela Salvadores and their other Istanbul rivals Besiktas.

On Tuesday, a Round 21 game was made up as Katie Lou Samuelson led Avenida past Sedis 80-57.  On Wednesday, Valencia and Girona played their Round 22 game that was moved due to both teams’ continental adventures and it was the hosts that held on to a 58-55 win to establish themselves as the second place team so far.  Estudiantes left Caceres with a 59-56 win in a Round 19 game.  On Thursday, Clarinos won 66-61 at Promete in a Round 23 game.  One of Saturday’s games from this round could not be played.  The early game in Logrono saw Lyndra Weaver lead Promete past Ensino 78-72.  Arica Carter and Estudiantes crushed Zaragoza 83-54.  Bembibre looked to build some space between themselves and danger, but Araski won 72-54.  Maria Espana fired Gran Canaria past Gipuzkoa 86-73.  Avenida breezed past Clarinos 76-36.  On Sunday, Zamarat did not have a miracle for themselves as they lost to Valencia 78-52.  Sonja Vasic helped Girona leave Caceres with an 83-58 win.

Not all the planned makeup games could be played as Estudiantes could not host Avenida in a Round 22 game set for Tuesday or host Araski in a Round 20 game scheduled for Thursday.  Girona did come back to beat Gran Canaria 79-73 in a Round 19 game on Tuesday.  On Thursday, Zaragoza crushed Promete 104-60 behind Markeisha Gatling and Chantelle Handy.  This round was supposed to start with the classic Basque Country rivalry game, but it was postponed.  Instead, the best game Saturday was in Lugo with Ensino holding on to a 76-73 win over Sedis.  Valencia beat Araski 69-58.  Out on Tenerife, Clarinos handed Zamarat a 91-60 loss that virtually seals the fate of the visitors at the bottom of the standings.  On Sunday, Avenida was challenged, but prevailed 77-71 over Zaragoza.  Estudiantes was able to return to play for their trip to Gran Canaria, but lost 70-65.  Girona rolled past Promete 93-57.  The key game was at the end of the day with the winner getting a leg up in the battle for safety.  Lashann Higgs and Julia Gladkova led Bembibre to the 68-55 win over Al-Qazeres to leave the visitors in the danger zone.

A full round of games was able to be played on Sunday, starting in Salamanca with a 107-66 win for Avenida over Gran Canaria.  Sedis edged Gipuzkoa 67-62 and Gernika beat Estudiantes 64-53.  Victoria Vivians and Zamarat are running out of chances for escape after losing to Zaragoza 82-71.  Laura Quevedo led Araski past Clarinos 81-64.  Valencia left Caceres with a 74-53 win.  That result meant that a wild game that saw Lashann Higgs and Julia Gladkova help Bembibre prevail 79-75 in two overtimes over Lyndra Weaver, Laia Flores, and Promete pushed the visitors into a tie for the last safe spot.  Girona left Lugo with an 89-74 win over Vega Gimeno and Ensino.
