Group A:
Both games in this group were on Wednesday and Sedis’s 70-61 win over Eleftheria Moschatou did not affect either team in the final reckoning. Brno won 74-70 at Charleville-Mezieres to jump above them in the standings for the automatic qualification, but the hosts had enough results in their other games to secure a spot in the next round without waiting for more games to be played.

Group B:
The first game in this group was on Wednesday and Girona stayed perfect and the 73-45 margin left Piestanske Cajky in terrible position among the third place teams. Thursday’s game had no impact, but Gorzow still leaned heavily on Chloe Bibby and Elena Tsineke only to see Mia Loyd and Diddeleng end their campaign with a 92-83 win.

Group C:
Both games in this group were on Wednesday and Galatasaray was definitely seeking top seeding, leaning on NaLyssa Smith and Myisha Hines-Allen for a big 102-66 win that ensured that Kibirkstis had no chance at advancing as a third place team. The other game had no impact on either team and Angers coasted past Constanta 95-61.

Group E:
One game in this round was played on Tuesday and it was in this group with Panathinaikos edging Jovana Nogic, Li Yueru, and Besiktas 80-79 to be the third team in this group to secure advancement. The other game on Thursday had no impact on the next round, but Laure Resimont and Mechelen did win 88-72 to create a three-way tie at the top of the standings and Slavia Banska Bystrica could not pick up a win.

Group F:
Both games in this group were on Wednesday, including a game with no implications that saw Brooque Williams lead Olympiacos past winless Ruzomberok 68-46 as the hosts advanced once it was clear that not enough third place teams in other groups would surpass their record in counted games. Kyra Lambert and Margaux Gaillou-Loko helped Riga fend off Kayseri 71-69 to stay among the undefeated teams.

Group G:
The only game in this group was on Thursday and both teams had advanced, but every game here mattered and Klaudia Perisa and Namur had a strong fourth quarter to make sure that they not only won the game, but also flipped the tiebreaker far enough with a 65-50 margin to win the group ahead of Caledonia Gladiators.

Group H:
Both games in this group were on Thursday and Karolina Sotolova and Katerina Galickova helped KP Brno climb up a place with their dominant 101-63 win, dropping Kelsey Bone and Antalya down to the last seed in the next round. That meant two more games against top seed Bourges, which won 97-42 at Grengewald Hueschtert behind Tima Pouye, which ultimately did not have any impact.

Group I:
Both games in this group were on Wednesday and London Lions did not manage a crushing victory for top seeding, but a 78-63 margin left Keltern too far outside the bounds of where it would be possible to advance. Braine defeated Maianca Umabano and GDESSA 66-60 in a game that had no implications for either team.

Group J:
One game in this group was on Wednesday and PEAC defeated Karmen Cicic and Ragusa 77-66 knowing that they would have to wait for the other game to find out their final placement in the group even though they had done enough to advance. Jessica Shepard and Francesca Pan made sure that Reyer would get a good seed, crushing Madi Williams and Bursa 105-58 to hurt the visitors’ placement.

Group K:
Both games in this group were on Wednesday and Kathryn Westbeld and Szekszard won 83-72, but that was not enough to flip the tiebreaker against Ivana Raca and Dinamo Sassari though both teams advanced. The other game had no implications as Estudiantes cruised past NaJai Pollard and Chomutov 101-80.

Group L:
One game in this group was on Wednesday and Arka Gdynia advanced and ended the fun, but chaotic possibility of sorting out a four-way tie with a 69-53 win over Alanna Smith and company. Shaqwedia Wallace and Ana Suarez led Roche to a 79-73 win on Thursday, automatically advancing and actually getting a better seed despite not winning the group, leaving Fribourg in the third position after that tiebreaker to also advance.
