Australian League Round 8 December 28th-31st
The round started with a pair of Wednesday games and a good effort from Shaneice Swain was not enough for Canberra to pick up their first win as they fell to Southside 76-54. Anneli Maley grabbed another large number of rebounds in Bendigo’s 78-66 win over Stephanie Talbot and Adelaide. Canberra is running out of chances to record a win that is not a big upset and Shaneice Swain continued to be their main bright spot as they lost again to Shyla Heal, Keely Froling, and Sydney 81-70 on Friday though they presumably at least wore the correct uniforms. The two teams on the outside of the playoff picture that still harbor realistic dreams of cracking the top half met with Chloe Bibby pacing Perth in an 82-72 win over Jacinta Monroe and Adelaide. Melbourne was closer to full strength on Saturday as Tiffany Mitchell led them past Stephanie Reid and Townsville 87-77.

Turkish League Round 13th December 30th-31st
The halfway point of the regular season was reached with the last round of the year and Friday opened with Alexis Prince and Busra Akbas leading Hatay to a 77-67 win. Kayla McBride and Alina Iagupova helped Fenerbahce bounce back from midweek disappointment with a 100-72 win over Reshanda Gray and severely shorthanded Orman. Botas had an easy 70-52 win over Rize. Monique Billings and Besiktas continued to rally, taking advantage of Bursa being in the middle of a crisis to cruise past Ferda Yildiz and company 104-64. Kamile Nacickaite and Galatasaray won 76-57 over Chelsea Nelson and Nesibe Aydin to sit alone in third place. Cankaya University grabbed the last cup spot on Saturday with a 74-68 win over Keyona Hayes and Kayseri. Tiffany Hayes led them in scoring and Chelsea Gray recorded a triple-double as Cukurova continued to be all alone in first place after a 91-60 win over Feyonda Fitzgerald and Antalya.
