Group B
Tuesday’s first game was in this group as both teams were looking to get the win that would keep them in quarterfinal contention. It was close throughout, but First Bank got the edge late and defeated FAP to leave themselves waiting for the rest of the games to learn their fate. The two teams in the other game had already qualified, but were trying to get the best possible placement in the bracket. Alexus Johnson and Sara Dickey had KPA looking to be surprise group winners after rallying following halftime, but Ferroviario recovered their championship form and won 91-76.

Group C
This group finished play on Wednesday as Ville de Dakar had already sealed their spot in the next round, but were looking to win by a big enough margin to move to the top overall seed. Aliyah Matharu led them, but the 88-45 win over eliminated Bravehearts was not enough for them to move past the other undefeated teams. The winner of the other game would automatically advance while the margin would determine which team would get the last spot. Yacine Diop and APR took the lead early and pulled away in the second half for an 89-66 win, but CNSS did also advance comfortably.
