All five qualifying series ended on Wednesday with teams either advancing to the regular season or dropping down to the EuroCup group stage. UMCS Lublin won their home game and built on that margin early in Hungary, but DVTK was able to take control at home and win 77-59, flipping the aggregate to their favor 144-129. There was no doubt in Istanbul with Galatasaray already having a substantial lead and pushing it even further with an 86-46 win for a final margin of 167-94. Reyer thought that they were in strong position at home, but Mina Djordjevic and Crvena zvezda made it an interesting game immediately, seizing back the overall lead before running out of steam again and losing 70-63, falling short 149-134 overall. Zaragoza knew that they would need their large crowd behind them to overturn a big deficit from their game at Brno. The hosts worked hard early to start the comeback, but the aggregate advantage was not within reach until the fourth quarter as Mariona Ortiz helped them just get over the line 82-59 as Brno missed their chance to take back the overall lead, falling 142-140. Maeva Djaldi-Tabdi and Bourges did not wait at all, quickly putting the loss in Vilnius behind them and defeating Japreece Dean and Kibirkstis 89-59, enough for a 153-134 aggregate win.
