Group E
Wednesday was the final day of games in this stage and the top spot was on the line in this group as Galatasaray took the lead early for a 67-57 win over Girona. The game in France had no bearing on seeding as Valeriane Ayayi and Janelle Salaun helped USK Prague warm up for the next round with an 88-70 win over eliminated Charleville-Mezieres. The last team to advance would be the winner of the game in Italy and Schio took care of business at home to get past Tima Pouye and Bourges 77-69.
