Eight teams directly through the Regular Season and eight more punched in second-chance tickets to the Round of 16 of the Basketball Champions League.
The Play-In stage stretching three weeks completed the field in the next round set to tipoff next week with Gameday 1 of the six-game double-legged round-robin schedule.
In Group I, Hapoel Atsmon Holon and Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem shaped a domestic continental battle stemming from Israel’s Winner League. France’s Betclic Elite LNB Pro A’s SIG Strasbourg and JDA Dijon make the other half.
Group L was completed last week. Surne Bilbao and Lenovo Tenerife were joined by one additional ACB outfit in UCAM Murcia scheduling plenty more domestic battles to watch in the BCL. Darussafaka took the fourth invitation to the party.
Game 3 contests completed Group J. Incoming Bahcesehir Koleji and Rytas Vilnius matched up with Telekom Baskets Bonn and Baxi Manresa.
Finally, Group K stretched from directly qualified Galatasaray Nef and Unicaja to Play-In winners AEK and Limoges CSP.
