Italian Cup March 30th-April 1st
All quarterfinals of the cup were played on Thursday and the first game was fantastic as Keisha Hampton and Ragusa looked as dangerous as their roster looked on paper before the season before Marina Mabrey and Rhyne Howard could Schio force overtime and win 87-78. The next game was more of a grind, but Sassari prevailed 53-48 against Sesto San Giovanni. Venezia broke open their game early in the second half and then fended off San Martino di Lupari’s final charge 83-75. Robyn Parks and Campobasso had a very tough draw, losing to Bologna 96-71. Schio looked strong in the first semifinal on Friday, an 88-61 win over Sassari. Sara Madera and Venezia controlled the second half to defeat Bologna 78-63. Rhyne Howard was the key in the final on Saturday and Schio built a big lead on their way to a 73-62 win over Venezia.

Turkish League Quarterfinals Game 1 April 1st
All of the quarterfinals series started on Saturday as the teams faced another short turnaround with the goal of compacting the schedule towards its original planned duration. Fenerbahce continues to shuffle its lineup and it was Kayla McBride leading them to a 90-70 win over Dana Evans and Besiktas. Cukurova continues to have a crowded calendar, but was able to take an early lead again and coast to a 114-67 win behind Asena Yalcin. Galatasaray will be competing on two fronts during this time and faced a difficult test from Jessica Thomas, Merritt Hempe, and Nesibe Aydin, but they rotated back to their strongest lineup with Azura Stevens leading the way and won the opener 76-69. Nirra Fields led the league upstarts to the only win from a road team 75-74 over Botas.
