Both games in this group were on Wednesday, starting in Miskolc with teams looking to stay out of last place with only a couple games remaining and it was Landes that left with a 66-56 win over DVTK. The last game of the week was in Salamanca with the winner knowing that they would be sitting in the lead for now and Avenida tried to come back in the second half, but Kitija Laksa fired Schio to the 79-69 win.
