After an exciting week of group play in EuroLeague Women, seven of the eight playoff spots for the 2020-21 season have been decided. Only Group A’s second seed remains up for grabs: Turkish club Izmit Belediyespor still has two games to play after arriving late to Group A host Salamanca.
But the biggest story of group competition is the undefeated records (6-0) of three teams Perfumerias Avenida, UMMC Ekaterinburg and Sopron Basket that earned the top seeds in Groups A, C and D, respectively.
Ekaterinburg’s dominance was largely expected it once again fielded a roster most would consider to be unfair. But kudos must be given to Avenida and Sopron for exceeding projections. Avenida, in particular, tied Ekaterinburg for the highest cumulative point differential (plus-154) in group play.
