    Tracker

    Just two gamedays remain in the Regular Season, so it's a good time to remind you of the competition format and potential Play-In pairings, as well as the potential composition of the Round of 16 groups.

    MIES (Switzerland) - The Ninth Symphony season of the Basketball Champions League has maintained the same competition format, meaning the eight group winners will advance straight to the Round of 16, while the second- and third-placed teams will move to the Play-Ins in January.

    The matchups are predetermined by the draw. With all of the teams playing at four Regular Season games, it's a good time to remind you of the potential pairings and Round of 16 groups.

    Who would be in the Play-Ins if the Regular Season ended today?

    The draw prior to the season determined that teams from adjacent groups will face each other in the Play-Ins in January. With standings as they are currently, we would end up with the following pairings:

    A2 Nanterre 92 vs B3 Filou Oostende B2 Aliaga Petkimspor vs A3 Hapoel Netanel Holon

    C2 Karsiyaka vs D3 Promitheas Patras BC Vikos Cola D2 Galatasaray vs C3 Saint-Quentin Basket-Ball

    E2 AEK Betsson BC vs F3 Falco-Vulcano Szombathely F2 Rytas Vilnius vs E3 Maccabi Ramat-Gan

    G2 BAXI Manresa vs H3 FMP SoccerBet H2 UCAM Murcia vs G3 NINERS Chemnitz

    The Play-Ins are a best-of-three series, with the second-placed teams having the home court advantage in a potential Game 3.

    What would the Round of 16 groups look like?

    The best 16 teams are going to be sorted into four groups of four teams. They will all play each other at home and on the road, and the top two ranked teams in each group will advance to the Quarter-Finals.

    Group I

    A1 FIT/One Wurzburg Baskets E1 Telekom Baskets Bonn C2 Karsiyaka vs D3 Promitheas Patras BC Vikos Cola G2 BAXI Manresa vs H3 FMP SoccerBet
