It was the game of the round between two top 4 ranked teams. KKZ Crvena zvezda MTS Beograd (5-0) is placed first in the Eurocup.

She was the top scorer with 17 points. Jakubcova also added 4 rebounds.
It was Olympiacos' third consecutive loss in a row.

This year Jakubcova averages 9.0ppg and 3.8rpg in five games she played so far.
#3. Kadiatou Sissoko (6'2''-F-1999, played in 2023-23, currently in Australia), who plays in the Australian WNBL was not able to help Canberra Capitals (1-4) in their game last Saturday. Despite her very good performance Canberra Capitals were edged73-71 in Bendigo by the higher-ranked Spirit (#3).
Sissoko was the top scorer with 19 points. She also added 4 rebounds in 34 minutes.
