The most surprising game was a loss of top-ranked Estudiantes O. (11-3) in Olavarria on Saturday night. Hosts were defeated by sixth ranked Estudiantes C. (8-5) 83-72. It ended at the same time the nine-game winning streak of Estudiantes O..

Estudiantes C. is looking forward to face Bahia (#13) in Bahia Blanca in the next round and are hoping to win another game. Estudiantes O. will have a break next round.
Very important is a road loss of third ranked Ciclista (9-5) against eleventh ranked Del Progreso (6-7) on Friday night. Visiting Ciclista was edged by Del Progreso in a tough game in General Roca 90-93. Forward Facundo Sanz (197-96, agency: BIG) notched a double-double by scoring 21 points and 10 rebounds to lead the effort and Howard Wilkerson supported him with 18 points and 7 rebounds (on 7-of-9 shooting from the field). Even 19 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists by Christian Boudet (192-97) did not help to save the game for Ciclista. Ciclista's coach Daniel Jaule rotated ten players in this game, but that didn't help. Del Progreso moved-up to tenth place. Ciclista at the other side keeps the third position with five games lost. They share it with Barrio Parque. Del Progreso will have a break next round, and it should allow them to practice more before next game. Ciclista will play at home against Parque Sur and hopes to get back on the winning track.
Very important is a road loss of second ranked CAO Ceres (11-2) against tenth ranked Independiente (6-8) on Saturday night.
