EuroLeague Round 10 January 17th-19th

Group A:

This round started on Tuesday and Erica Wheeler led Polkowice, but they will have to keep battling to hold their position as they lost to Kitija Laksa and Virtus Bologna 89-76. On Wednesday, Breanna Stewart and Fenerbahce moved into sole possession of first place and kept Olympiacos winless with a 92-58 win. Lauren Cox and Valencia slammed the door on Szekszard 75-54. Bourges had a golden chance to stay firmly in the picture, but their path to cracking the quarterfinals got tougher after USK Praha rallied for a 65-57 win.

Group B:

Most of the game in this group were on Wednesday as Tiffany Hayes was back at her best for Cukurova in a 75-59 win over Landes. Schio moved into a safer position and made it harder for Avenida by going to Salamanca and winning 72-61. Brittney Sykes and Girona made sure that they would win one of the games against Mechelen, prevailing 71-59. An extra period was needed in the lone Thursday game and the combination of Arella Guirantes and Cheridene Green helped DVTK force overtime and then edge to a 77-75 win over Jelena Brooks and Sopron, putting themselves in much better position in the group and sending a message to their domestic league competitor.
