Both semifinals started on Thursday with the same format as previous rounds. One side of the bracket actually featured the two lower seeds and defending champions Villeneuve-d’Ascq had the lead early, but the 10 seed has work to do at home after losing 69-56 to the 14 seed Athinaikos. As the top performing team in the regular season, Lattes Montpellier was the 5 seed behind the teams dropping down from EuroLeague, so they hosted the first game of their series, losing to the top seed Cukuorva 70-68.
