French Cup Quarterfinals February 11th-16th

One quarterfinal was played on Saturday as the two remaining second division teams were not affected by the international break. It was even after one half, but hosts Strasbourg were stronger after the break and then had to hold on late to defeat Monaco 56-51. The first game on Thursday was also the first for Landes as teams qualifying for EuroLeague entered the competition in this round and Marine Fauthoux and Regan Magarity led them to an 84-65 win over Angers. Lyon was the only road team to win, prevailing 82-71 at Tarbes. Villeneuve-d’Ascq started out on fire as Kamiah Smalls led them to an 83-74 win over Bourges.

Hungarian Cup Quarterfinals February 16th

The tournament is trying a new format this season with the teams qualifying the same way, but playing quarterfinals separately and only playing the rest of the tournament at a single site. All games in this round were played on the Thursday after the international break. PEAC had to make a roster change over the break, but looked strong in an 87-44 win over Szigetszentmiklos. DVTK crushed BEAC 102-64 in Miskolc. Sopron stifled Szekszard 59-38 while Gyor rolled past Vasas 96-65.

Israeli League Round 15 February 16th

All games except one in this round were scheduled for the Thursday after the international break. The first game was Jordan Hooper and Hapoel Rishon Lezion’s 82-54 win over Alisia Jenkins and Ramat Hasharon. Taylor Wurtz and Danielle Adams continued to lead ASA Jerusalem, but Maccabi Ashdod proved to be too much of a test and Shatori Walker-Kimbourgh and Tal Sahar paced the hosts in a 96-79 win. Elitzur Ramla was missing players as they have important games coming up, but Shakira Austin and Elina Babkina made up the difference in their 85-78 win even though Jennie Simms, Alex Harden, and Courtney Hurt were all strong for Elitzur Holon. The two struggling teams played and Kelsey Bone had the most spectacular performance of the day to lead Hapoel Petah Tikva to a 79-72 win over Breanna Richardson to avoid falling a game behind everyone else.

Spanish League Round 21 February 16th

The game that has the most direct relegation implications was not played, but all of the other teams were in action on the Thursday after the international break. Jolene Anderson and Barcelona edged Mariam Coulibaly and Ibaeta in the first game in Gipuzkoa. Sika Kone and Petra Holesinska had good games for Gran Canaria, but Araski prevailed at the end 76-75. Estudiantes pulled away from Bembibre for a 66-49 win. In Lugo, Ensino took advantage of Tenerife’s struggles to move to a much safer position after a 69-60 win, getting a triple-double from Alba Prieto. Shorthanded Avenida was not particularly convincing in a 63-47 win over Sedis. The game to determine which team would sit at the top of the standings closed the day and Valencia imposed their will early to win 77-62 over Girona.
