    UCAM Murcia, Rostock Seawolves, Energa Trefl Sopot, Cedevita Junior, Dinamo BDS Sassari and Casademont Zaragoza had all secured their places as group winners ahead of the final gameday, before CSM CSU Raiffeisen Oradea, Pallacanestro Reggiana, PAOK BC and reigning champions Surne Bilbao Basket also locked up top spots.

    Last season's finalists Bilbao and PAOK will meet again in Group M, with the Spanish side one of two former champions left in the field alongside Dinamo BDS Sassari.

    The Second Round is set to commence in December, with another six weeks of action as the top two teams in each of the four groups will advance to the Quarter-Finals.
