Three series concluded on Wednesday with the winners advancing to the regular season. Bodrum already had a substantial lead so they coasted at home to a 70-66 win over Osnabruck, a total scoreline of 148-102 in their favor. Ashten Prechtel and MTK cut into their deficit early, but it proved to be too tough a task, losing to Angers 83-77 to be eliminated 173-134. Sparkle Taylor and Dinamo Sassari cruised past Konstantina Sarigiannidou and PAS Giannina 95-50 for a 175-113 aggregate win.
The series that was expected to still be competitive had their game start play on Thursday. Universitatea Cluj exactly made up the deficit at home, causing the rarity of a non-tied game going to overtime. Iraklis did not win the game, but trimming the final margin to a 69-60 loss was enough to end the extra frame with a 121-119 aggregate lead behind Kennedy Dickie. Ferrol trailed after the first quarter against Battipaglia, but cruised to an 89-45 win, ending up with the largest final margin at 178-92.
