EuroLeague Round 11
Group A:
All games in this group were on Wednesday as Emma Meesseman and Fenerbahce continued their run with a 95-73 win over Bologna, which got a great scoring display from Kitija Laksa. Megan Gustafson and Olympiacos finally got that elusive win, taking advantage of Szekszard not being in contention to prevail 87-68. Polkowice’s quest to hold their position continued to be tough after a 92-57 loss to USK Praha. Bourges won 70-68 against Valencia with Polkowice facing those two teams right below them in the standings in the next two games.

Group B:
Half of the games in this group were on Wednesday and Brittney Sykes was looking to help Girona record a win over her previous team, but Sopron rallied for a 62-60 win. Marina Mabrey and Schio kept pace with an 85-71 win over Regan Magarity and Landes. The first game on Thursday would put the winner a game above the rest of the teams in the middle of the standings and it was DeWanna Bonner and Cukurova that just edged out Arella Guirantes and DVTK 78-77 in Miskolc. Avenida avoided an upset against Morgan Bertsch and Mechelen, leaving with a 75-61 win.

EuroCup Round of 16 Game 1
Half of the series started on Wednesday with the same format of each team hosting a game and then combining the scores. 13 seed Galatasaray took a lead early on 4 seed Lattes Montpellier to win 88-75 behind the trio of Teaira McCowan, Azura Stevens, and Kamile Nacickaite. At 22, Braine is the lowest remaining seed and they trail narrowly after 6 seed Angers left with a 62-61 win. Marine Johannes and Alexia Chartereau helped 19 seed Lyon start fast and maintain that margin in a 91-76 win over Borislava Hristova and 3 seed Sepsi. 21 seed Sedis had the biggest lead of any team at the end of the day after Laia Raventos led them past 5 seed Charleville-Mezieres 72-54.
Top seed Reyer was looking to avoid a deficit again on Thursday, but 16 seed Elitzur Holon was impressive in the second half and Courtney Hurt led the way in an 83-68 win. After an even first half between the two closest seeds, the trio of Alyssa Baron, Alyssa Clark, and Shakira Austin gave 9 seed Elitzur Ramla the biggest lead of any team after an 85-63 win over 8 seed Gorzow. Sparkle Taylor and 15 seed Lublin have a narrow 69-66 edge on 2 seed Zaragoza. Kamiah Smalls and 7 seed Villeneuve-d’Ascq is bringing home a 74-66 lead after their win over Virag Kiss and 10 seed PEAC.
