Semifinals Game 1 April 18th-19th

One semifinals series started on Tuesday and Sesto San Giovanni was looking for an even bigger upset, but Bologna won the opener 64-49. The other series started on Wednesday and Venezia looked set to pick up a win after a good rest period against a team coming off two tough games, but Schio completed a massive fourth quarter comeback to prevail 63-59 avoid losing at home. Both series continue Saturday with home teams needing wins to extend their seasons.

Playout Game 5

The penultimate games for these teams were played on Wednesday with teams mostly just playing out the string at this point. Janka Gyongyosi led Csata to a 107-54 win over Cegled. Pecsi was tantalizingly close to at least grabbing a win, but Dominique McBryde made sure it was not at Szigetszentmiklos’s expense and they held on to a 71-68 victory.

French League Round 21

The second to last round of games was played on Wednesday with teams still jostling for critical placement in the standings and trying to integrate their last medical joker signings into the team before the games that matter most. Alexis Peterson was absolutely brilliant in lifting Angers above Charleville-Mezieres after a 92-62 win. Young Carla Leite put on a show after her birthday to lead Tarbes to a 74-69 win over Roche that could have sealed both teams’ postseason fates. Toulouse’s rally attempt came way too late even with their latest roster move and Villeneuve d’Ascq kept their top seed hopes alive with an 84-81 win. Lattes Montpellier was impressive in an 87-47 win over Saint-Amand. Bourges nearly stumbled even with a good game from Yvonne Anderson and a new player, edging Briana Day and Landerneau, which was also able to bring in another player, 77-75. Having captured a trophy recently, Lyon has their eyes on two more, but they either dropped the ball or were trying to hide tactics ahead of their matchup for the cup title on Saturday, possibly handing Landes a psychological edge after their 62-60 win.
