MUNICH (Germany) - The final gameday of the Second Round produced some scintillating individual performances as the Quarter-Final line-up was confirmed on Wednesday night.
Below are the standout players from Week 12, and you can have your say on who was your favorite below.
They were pipped to the post by Tofas Bursa, but FC Porto ended their campaign with an 80-76 win over Maroussi BC. Toney Douglas was once again at the heart of everything, posting 25 points, 7 rebounds and 7 assists as the FIBA Europe Cup MVP for January ended with an efficiency rating of 34.
Douglas' rating was nearly matched by PAOK mateco forward Jackson Kreuser, as he scored 24 points on 7-of-8 shooting, along with 7 rebounds and 2 assists for a rating of 30. Despite losing 97-93 to JDA Bourgogne Dijon, the Greek side had already secured their passage to the Quarter-Finals.
In an almost exclusively offensive-minded game, Fribourg Olympic downed Anwil Wloclawek 107-101 to book their place into the last eight. The Swiss side were led by Eric Nottage, who had 22 points, 9 assists, and 5 rebounds to secure an efficiency rating of 30.
JDA Bourgogne Dijon needed to go the distance to book their place into the Quarter-Finals and thanks to the sublime showing that Gavin Ware put on, they did just that. Ware had 24 points, 7 rebounds and shot 69 percent from the field to help the French side to the needed win over PAOK mateco.
Alex Perez might have scored the game-winning basket that landed Tofas Bursa a spot in the Quarter-Finals, but Yigitcan Saybir certainly earned his place as a Top Performer, as his double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds led the Turkish side to an 80-79 victory over Casademont Zaragoza, who had already qualified before the final Gameday.
