Group B
The winner of the game in Ljubljana would advance while the loser would have to wait for other games to finish to secure a spot as one of the third-place teams. Jessica Shepard and Zala Friskovec helped Slovenia take care of business 97-80, but the Netherlands was also able to advance. In Tallinn, Estonia was hoping to pick up a win against their neighbors to avoid finishing winless, but a good game from Anna Gret Asi was not enough in an 82-75 loss to Kitija Laksa and Latvia.
