Turkish League Semifinals Game 2

On Thursday, Galatasaray shuffled their lineup in a bid to extend their season and got good games from Teaira McCowan and Epiphanny Prince to look solid early. Fenerbahce left it late again, but Emma Meesseman and Breanna Stewart helped them win 87-78 and eliminate their rivals. Their schedule does not get any lighter with seven games set to be played in a twelve day stretch.

Spanish League Quarterfinals Game 1

All series started on Thursday with the teams that finished lower in the standings looking to build leads ahead of the other games set for Sunday. Barcelona kept it close, but lost to Rebekah Gardner and Barcelona 56-50. Top seed Valencia only has a narrow 58-56 lead as Billie Massey paced Estudiantes. Given the distance between the top four and the rest of the playoff teams in the standings, there was not much expectation of an upset, but Sandra Ygueravide and Gernika do lead Zaragoza 75-69. One series is almost certainly settled after Avenida crushed Sedis 92-45.
