Group A
Both of the games in this group were on Wednesday and Katerina Rokosova and Eliska Brejchova helped Chomutov run up the score as much as possible against AEL in a 90-34 win that did not end up helping them enough in the tiebreaker. Dominique Malonga put on another show for Lyon to seal one of the best seeds with a 100-79 win over Shatori Walker-Kimbrough and Gorzow.

Ibaeta finished their group with a perfect record after rolling past Proteas Voulas on Wednesday. Sepsi was already eliminated so Crvena zvezda headed into their game on Thursday hoping for a big win to improve their seeding, leaving Sfantu Gheorghe with a 72-62 victory.

Group D
Already eliminated Caledonia Gladiators still tried to pick up their first win at home, but Neptunas just did enough to win 67-64. The Thursday game is one of many whose stats links have yet to be fixed at publication, but Lattes Montpellier got a 93-60 win to stay perfect, sending Fribourg’s differential below what would have been necessary to advance as a third place team.

Group E
Both games in this group were on Wednesday and Sopron had already secured the top spot, but improved their seeding by keeping Piestanske Cajky winless 74-47. Charnay grabbed the other automatic place with their 84-53 win, pushing Bodrum’s record unhelpfully below the tiebreaker line.

Group F
The game on Wednesday would give the winner the first automatic spot from this group and it was Juliunn Redmond that helped Braine leave Constanta with a 78-74 win. That result meant that Keltern would advance in second place regardless of Thursday’s result, but Alexandra Wilke made sure that they got the 89-59 win over Jade Williams and Peli-Karhut to improve their seeding and Constanta slipped through to the next round too.

Group G
Szekszard knew that they would almost certainly need a win at home on Wednesday to grab one of the spots for top third place teams and they faced elimination heading into the final quarter, but forced overtime and the trio of Kathryn Westbeld, Dominika Baa, and Marena Whittle got them the 106-98 triumph over Alex Sharp and Estudiantes. Stats have not been fixed for Thursday’s game, but Tarbes ended Iraklis’s tough group stage with a 106-39 win

Group H
Only one game was left in this group and it was played on Wednesday with Kibirkstis needing a win in Vilnius to grab the other automatic spot. Berlin put up quite a fight in their longshot bid to win by enough to flip all of the tiebreakers in their favor, but Sydney Taylor and Giedre Labuckiene made sure that the hosts took care of business and won 80-68.

Group L
Both games in this group were on Wednesday and Magnolia Campobasso officially advanced and helped their seed by ending a miserable run for Yerevan Foxes 103-38. Girona also improved their seed with a win, but the 79-72 loss for Julia Reisingerova and PEAC did not dent their own seeding much thanks to their two massive wins over the weakest team in the group.
