Schio make it three wins in four
There's some momentum building behind Beretta Famila Schio after they made it three wins in four outing by sealing an impressive 82-71 success at Zabiny Brno. It was thanks mainly to some excellent transition and Hungarian center Dorka Juhasz.
She provided the foundation for victory and continued her good form by amassing 15 points and 13 rebounds, while teammate Janelle Salaun and Kitija Laksa fired 17 and 16 points respectively.
Game of the Week
There's unlikely to be a more intense battle than Tango Bourges Basket hosting Basket Landes at Le Prado. Both teams have identical 5-4 records in Group E, with Landes having beaten their fellow French side previously.
Amy Okonkwo is in super form for Bourges and could be the one to help her team serve up another slice of revenge against their rivals, since they just completed a mammoth 40-point success against Landes in the French League.
The Game of the Week is available live and for free via our official streaming partner DAZN.
