EuroCup Women round 5
Six teams eliminated
Dynamo Moscow, Nantes Rezé and Tarbes booked their EuroCup Women play-off spots this week. They join Dynamo Kursk, Botas, Istanbul Universitesi and Basket Landes, already qualified.
With one round of games to go the following teams are already out: Tsmoki Minsk, Dunav 8806, ACS Sepsi, Olimpia Grodno, Lotto Young Cats and Belfius Namur.
Only the top two teams from each group and the two best third place teams qualify for the next phase.
Last season (2012-2013) Basket Landes failed to qualify from the group phase after suffering back to back defeats against Dynamo Moscow and VS Prague.
This season they have been unstoppable. They clinched their Group E title in a shoot-out victory against TSW Wasserburg (92-75). Yet again the duo of Danielle Page (26 points) and Kamila Stepanova (25 points) dominated the paint for Basket Landes.
Tarbes' problems domestically are pushed aside in their EuroCup Women campaign. They have got the Group G title and a place in the next round with a comfortable victory against MBK Ruzomberok (55-35). Serbia international Jovana Rad finished with 15 points in the victory.
In the all French match-up, Nantes Rezé came up with their best performance of the season in beating Villeneuve d'Ascq (72-61).
Marielle Amant led the charge offensively with 18 points while Cayla Francis and Aurélie Bonnan added 15 and 12 points each, while Caroline Aubert dished out 8 assists.
A victory for Villeneuve d'Ascq next week against PEAC Pecs will send them into the next round. A defeat may see them eliminated if they are not amongst the best two teams in third place.
