    Weekend Round-Up: Crunch Time

    A statement win punctuates the end of the German regular season, as the standings fall into their final state. One team punches their ticket to the Turkish Superleague Finals, while we go to overtime to force a deciding game on the other side of the bracket. The mother of all shooting-variance upsets puts the top 3 spots in the Italian League standings well and truly up for grabs. The two teams at the top of the Spanish standings go head to head again, while two other results keep the battle for the 4th spot in complete chaos. Available now, wherever you get your podcasts!

    Weekend Update: Getting It Done

    Weekend Round-Up: Favourite Cups and Cup Favourites

    We've got some mid-season champions! In Spain, Ilunion reclaimed the Copa del Rey throne after several years. The field was as strong as it's ever been during their march to the Gold, as Albacete and Murcia took Silver and Bronze. In Italy, Porto Torres continued their stunning season by claiming the first Coppa Italia in the club's history, perhaps cementing themselves as the best team in the country in the process. Elsewhere, we saw the first weekend of the Turkish league playoffs highlighted by a vintage superstar performance, and a couple of surprising scorelines across Germany and France.

    Weekend Round-Up: We'll Tell You When It's Already Happened

    As domestic leagues resume, we deploy the age-old rest vs rust battle in the aftermath of EuroCup. Spain saw a pair of one possession wins further middle the middle of the pack, and a reminder of who resides in the top tier until proved otherwise. Germany saw a clear case of weekend-off benefits vs EuroCup hangover, and a bid for a second straight upset of a top-4 team. Italy saw yet another scrap of an Adriatic derby decided by a single point, as well as a resounding revenge game as an early-season score was settled. Available now, wherever you get your podcasts!
