Group A
All of the final games in this stage were played on Wednesday. The three teams advancing from this group were already determined, but with results carrying over to the next round, there was plenty to play for still. USK Prague faced winless and eliminated Gdynia, rolling to a 102-67 win. Bourges did hand Girona their first loss 69-63, which could be critical in the next stage.

Charleville-Mezieres needed a win to avoid being the last place team to start the next stage, but lost to Jessica Shepard and Schio 74-57.

Group C
Olympiacos needed a big upset win in the first game of the day just for the chance to wait for the other game to go their way too and avoid elimination. Fenerbahce did not take it easy on them, leaving with a 99-47 win and ending up with a nearly unassailable lead in the next round as well. Kayla Alexander and Valencia also cruised, winning 81-58 to leave DVTK in a tough spot in the next stage.

Group D
This group will combine with Group C in the next round and none of the teams here will have an advantage for one of the top two spots after Reyer fended off Landes 57-56 to prevent the visitors from putting themselves in a great spot. Cukurova needed a win by enough of a margin to flip the tiebreaker to sneak away with the last spot, but a fantastic home crowd roared Zaragoza on in an 88-58 victory.
