Very expected game in Bahia Blanca where 16th ranked La Union (4-17) was defeated by eleventh ranked Wuber-Est.Bahia (8-10) 75-71. However just four-point win is not that big difference and the fans of host team counted on more convincing victory. It looked good early as La Union took an 4-point lead at the end of first quarter. But then Wuber-Est.Bahia had a 20-13 second period charge getting the lead and La Union was not able to take back game control losing it eventually 71-75. Wuber-Est.Bahia made 20-of-26 charity shots (76.9 percent) during the game. Wuber-Est.Bahia outrebounded La Union 43-30 including a 33-22 advantage in defensive rebounds.

We could consider it a predictable result in the game between close teams in Parana where tenth ranked Sionista (10-12) beat 9th ranked GECR Indalo (9-12) 85-79. The hosts took control from the first minutes by winning first half. But GECR Indalo won third quarter 25-18. However it was not enough to take a lead and get a victory that evening.

Sionista moved-up to ninth place. GECR Indalo lost their third game in a row. They dropped to the tenth position with 12 games lost. Sionista's next round opponent will be higher ranked Lanus (#3) in Buenos Aires and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. GECR Indalo will play on the road against the league's leader Regatas Corrientes (#1) having rather not much hope for a victory.
