Hatay was still unable to play, but the rest of the games went on as scheduled, starting with a busy Saturday.  The thriller of the day went to overtime as Alina Iagupova paced Cukurova again, getting good games from Kristine Anigwe and Manolya Kurtulmus to push them to a 101-100 win despite Orman getting big games from Riquna Williams, Ashley Walker, and Angel Robinson.  Stephanie Madden did all she could as usual, but Samsun fell to Gabija Meskonyte and Adana 96-47.  Nesibe continues to be a good story while Elazig continues to fall below expectations as Katsiaryna Snytsina led the hosts past Emma Cannon and company 90-74.  Cankaya University outdid their usual rotation antics, playing their starters for the entire game as Shavonte Zellous led them past an Izmit team getting ready for their big game in continental competition.  Courtney Williams led Galatasaray past Botas 75-60.  The lone Sunday game saw Kayla McBride have a strong first game for Fenerbahce in a 91-69 win over Ty Harris and Kayseri.

Saturday’s games included a wild affair as Besiktas had their duo of Crystal Bradford and Angela Salvadores firing, but Cankaya University leaned on their starters, playing the bench for a total of 2 minutes and 44 second, getting enough from Shavonte Zellous, Tan White, and Gizem Yavuz to win 98-94.  Elazig made roster changes and Emma Cannon had a good first game for them, but Anete Steinberga and Galatasaray won 75-57.  Briana Day led Adana past Kayseri 83-70.  Ruthy Hebard was dominant again as Nesibe beat Orman 75-58 and Kumsal Aslan made her professional debut.  The virus affected games for the first time this weekend as Hatay had to postpone at least their next three games, but the two other games scheduled for Sunday were played.  Botas beat Izmit 72-57.  Alina Iagupova tried to shoot Cukurova past her previous team, but Fenerbahce won 79-55.

The game that was postponed by earthquake in Round 16 was played on Wednesday with Avery Warley leading Cankaya University past Elazig 67-54.  That ended up being the last game with fans as this round was played on Saturday.  Bria Hartley and Galatasaray were able to surprise Alina Iagupova and their fierce rivals Fenerbahce 80-77.  Hatay was able to debut their new look roster in a 76-69 win over Riquna Williams and Elazig.  Katsiaryna Snytsina was brilliant for Besiktas and got some help from Yvonne Anderson to offset a similarly great game from Danielle Adams and a triple-double from Alexis Prince to edge Adana 97-93.  Brittney Sykes and Alex Bentley led Cukurova past Kaela Davis and Kayseri 94-70.  Tan White and Cankaya University won 86-60 as it looks like it was too late for Botas to add a player to make a difference.  Samsun is still winless after losing to Izmit 83-54.
