MUNICH (FIBA Europe Cup) - There is still a lot basketball to be played in the Second Round, but a handful of teams could be on their way to the Play-Offs by the time the week draws to a close.

Avtodor Saratov, Bakken Bears, Dinamo Sassari, s.Oliver Wurzburg and Pallacanestro Varese will have a shot to clinch early bird tickets to the Round of 16, but don't be surprised if none of them do. Only the Denis Wucherer-coached Wurzburg side are in control of their own destiny, with all remaining clubs needing other results to go their way as well.

There are eight dedicated spots for FIBA Europe Cup teams in the Play-Offs, with the other half set to arrive from the Basketball Champions League, providing the qualified teams had exercised their opt-ins.
