Sopron Basket became the first team to qualify for the post-season already this past Monday. Despite starting the season with two defeats, Galatasaray have bounced back nicely and could join them with a win over hub hosts Bourges Basket. A Bourges win would keep the the second Play-Off berth open in Group D for a little bit longer.
