Week 10 qualification possibilities
GROUP A

Unicaja will win Group A if it beats Maccabi Electra or if it loses by fewer than 8 points and Olympiacos loses to Le Mans. In both scenarios, Unicaja would be first, Olympiacos second and Maccabi third. In the event that Unicaja loses to Maccabi and Olympiacos wins, the final score of the Unicaja-Maccabi game would determine the order. If Maccabi wins by more than 26 and Olympiacos wins, it would be Maccabi first, Olympiacos second and Unicaja third. If Maccabi wins by at least 7, but less than 26, and Olympiacos wins, it would be Olympiacos first, Maccabi second and Unicaja third. If Maccabi beats Unicaja by more than 7 and Olympiacos falls to Le Mans, Maccabi would be first, Unicaja second and Olympiacos third. Cibona will be fourth in Group A regardless of the Week 10 results.
