What happened in the second-to-last week of EuroLeague Women group play? In Group A, three of the four games were basically blowouts. Fortunately, the Group B action made up for the lack of excitement, with three close and fun contests.
Group A
If you would have asked anyone with some EuroLeague Women knowledge to recommend one game to watch on Wednesday, they probably would have picked Schio versus Zaragoza. Both teams had eight wins and the winner would clinch the third spot in the quarter-finals, leaving one available postseason spot for the loser or Valencia, if they would beat DVTK (spoiler: they did). On paper, the teams were evenly matched and hopes were that the game was going to be exciting (spoiler: it wasn’t). Schio won the first quarter 28-16 and their lead was never in peril, cruising to the 73-59 win. The Lynx’s Dorka Juhász played her best game in the campaign so far, finishing with 13 points and six boards. Arella Guirantes had 15 points and seven rebounds, while Robyn Parks scored 11 points.
