The next set of series in the knockout rounds started on Wednesday with three games. The format is the same for this round with two games played and the scores being combined to determine the winner. Only one series featured two teams that pulled off seeding upsets and it was the first game of the day. 24 seed Panathinaikos looked like it would have an easy time after a fast start, but 25 seed Zaglebie Sosnowiec made it closer before Feyonda Fitzgerald and Sedona Prince helped the visitors move the final margin to a comfortable 76-49. Frieda Buhner and 15 seed Estudiantes started well out of halftime to take the lead, but Nausia Woolfolk and 2 seed Olympiacos recovered to bring home an 86-85 win. 10 seed Villeneuve-d’Ascq continued their title defense with an 85-62 win over Gernika.
Thursday started with 14 seed Athinaikos using impressive balance to get an 81-72 win over 3 seed Sopron. Top seed Cukurova was facing a tie game at halftime, but eventually pulled away for an 87-67 win over 17 seed Kibirkstis behind Luisa Geiselsoder. Robbi Ryan and 13 seed Lublin looked ready to bring home a big lead, but Braine, the lowest remaining seed at 29 did make it closer and only lost 77-67. Nell Angloma was impressive for Lattes Montpellier, the 5 seed as the best performing team in the regular season, as they defeated 12 seed Mechelen 80-66. Two league foes met with 11 seed Avenida rolling to an 86-58 win over Ferrol.
