EuroCup Women succes for home teams



16 EuroCup Women victories for the home teams did not prevent two top seeded teams to be eliminated from the competition.



The number 12 seed CCC Polkowice and 16 seed Dunav Econt Ruse were the teams to fall to lower ranked teams.

The biggest comeback in the second leg was performed by Gran Canaria 2014 La Caja de Canarias that overturned a 22-point deficit against Jolly JBS Sibenik.

USO Mondeville and Lattes Montpellier perfectly paced themselves to victory to the delight of their supporters and coaches.

The Eighth-Finals (second round) are played over two legs, with the first games scheduled for 28 January and the return leg on 4 February 2010.
