It was the very first loss for Ekaterinburg in Euroleague play. All teams in Euroleague that played today only have two games left in first round play.

Erika de Souza, however, is still out with a leg injury. It looks like Ros Casares is doing quite well without her, in both Euroleague and Spanish League play. Ros Casares might be one of the toughest teams in Europe.
