LFB Challenge Round semi-final games two
Nantes-Rezé in final
Hainaut Basket force game three

Nantes-Rezé have qualified for their third consecutive LFB Challenge Round final by bringing an end to Tarbes' season.

A third game will be required between Hainaut Basket and Basket Landes after Amisha Carter saved Hainaut Basket from defeat.
