Hungarian League Round 22
The regular season finished with simultaneous tipoffs on Saturday. Cyesha Goree and Szekszard are still trying to prove that they can provide a challenge in the playoffs and lost to Gyor 83-75. DVTK rolled to a 76-45 win over Csata. Pecsi finished winless in this stage after a 95-43 loss to MTK. Ana Vojtulek sewed up the scoring title, Morgan Green completed a momentous week in her career, and Barbara Angyal also helped in BEAC’s 94-65 win over Cegled. Sopron was locked into their seed, but not going at full speed may have given Sierra Calhoun and PEAC some confidence with a 66-61 win. Vasas made sure that they were in the playoffs with a 60-53 win over Szigetszentmiklos.

Polish League Semifinals Game 1
The semifinals started on Saturday and Erica Wheeler made sure that there would be no upset in the first game in Polkowice’s 88-82 win over Batabe Zempare and Zaglebie Sosnowiec. The other game ended up being a battle of trios and Gorzow now faces a deficit and will want to get a win tomorrow before hitting the road as Chantel Horvat, Alanna Smith, and Lindsay Allen led them, but they fell short in a 92-86 loss to Aleksandra Stanacev, Natasha Mack, Sparkle Taylor, and Lublin.

AfroBasket Zone 4 Qualifiers
Yaounde, Cameroon hosted this zone’s qualifying games on Friday and Saturday with the two participating teams playing a pair of games to reach a combined total for the series and determine which team would automatically qualify. The Democratic Republic pretty much put the series beyond doubt after the first game once Cecila Nyoka and Deborah Kaba Mayimona led them to a 121-32 win. Gabon was more competitive in the second game, but still lost 101-53 with Marlene Ngobeleza leading the victors to a 222-85 final margin.
