The Basketball Champions League saw the Play-Ins phase come to a close, as the last tickets to the Round of 16 were handed out on Wednesday evening.<\/p>\n

The Play-Ins saw incredible action all over the continent, highlighted by Falco-Vulcano Szombathely’s miracle halfcourt shot to force double overtime, and eventually propel the Hungarian champions to a dramatic win to take them to 2-1 against Maccabi Ramat-Gan.<\/p>\n

That matchup was just a part of an incredible Play-In phase, as 17 of 20 games played in this stage finished with a margin by 10 points or less, seven of them being one-possession games.<\/p>\n

Promitheas Patras BC Vikos Cola and Pallacanestro Reggiana were the only two lower seeds advancing, both sweeping their matchups even though Karsiyaka and Telekom Baskets Bonn had homecourt advantage, respectively.<\/p>\n

Galatasaray, Aliaga Petkimspor, Falco-Vulcano Szombathely and Nanterre 92 advanced by winning the deciding Game 3s at home in their respective matchups, while Manisa Basket defeated NINERS Chemnitz 2-0 with a combined points difference of +4.<\/p>\n

Bertram Derthona Basket put the ghosts of last season to bed. A year ago, they lost out to Galatasaray in this stage, this time around they had no troubles with Peristeri Domino’s in two games.<\/p>\n

The eight Play-In winners will now join the eight Regular Season group winners in the Round of 16.<\/p>\n

Teams will be divided in four groups of four teams, facing off in a round-robin format, in home and away games. The top two teams from each group will advance to the Quarter-Finals.<\/p>\n

\n
GROUP I: <\/b>FIT\/One Wurzburg Baskets (GER); AEK Betsson BC (GRE); Promitheas Patras BC Vikos Cola (GRE); Bertram Derthona Basket (ITA)<\/p>\n

GROUP J:<\/b> Unicaja (ESP); Rytas Vilnius (LTU); Galatasaray (TUR); Manisa Basket (TUR)<\/p>\n

GROUP K:<\/b> La Laguna Tenerife (ESP); BAXI Manresa (ESP); Aliaga Petkimspor (TUR); Pallacanestro Reggiana (ITA)<\/p>\n

GROUP L: <\/b>ERA Nymburk (CZE); UCAM Murcia (ESP); Nanterre 92 (FRA); Falco-Vulcano Szombathely (HUN)<\/p>\n

The Round of 16 tips off next week, with three games set on Tuesday, January 28, and five more on Wednesday, January 29.<\/p>\n

The Quarter-Finals draw will be held after the Round of 16, and the group winners will have homecourt advantage in the best-of-three series.<\/p>\n

The four Quarter-Finals winners will advance to the season ending Final Four tournament, to be held in May.<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n
