No club has clinched a Round of 16 berth upon the conclusion of Basketball Champions League Regular Season Gameday 10. On the other side of the standings, only VEF Riga is officially out with four matches to go.
Diving into Group A, Dinamo Sassari dropped to 7-3 allowing BAXI Manresa and Turk Telekom to rejoin the Italian club on top of the table. Filou Oostende’s win created the three-way tie and landed the Belgian side in fourth place for the week.
Two-way tie in Group B with AEK drawing a loss at Belgium and Hapoel Bank Yahav Jerusalem overpowering RASTA Vechta in Germany. The Queen and the Israeli club seem favorites for first place, but the situation further down the standings remains extremely complicated.
Group C features Iberostar Tenerife with the BCL-leading 9-1 W-L tally. Only one point behind at 8-2 sits ERA Nymburk. As for the rest of the Round of 16 spots, Nizhny Novgorod and Peristeri winmasters are one point ahead of fifth-placed Brose Bamberg.
JDA Dijon ended Happy Casa Brindisi’s undefeated streak at home to gain sole control of first place in Group D. Only two points separate the rest of the teams that are heading for a wild finish.
