The second leg of the Eighthfinals delivered the drama it promised before it started, and when all was said and done, a familiar face emerged to earn weekly MVP honors. Big man Vladimir Golubovic of Aykon TED Ankara Kolejliler was MVP of the week for the third time this season thanks to an index rating performance of 38 that led his team to a win over Khimik Yuzhne to overcome the loss in Game 1 and advance to the Quarterfinals. Golubovic scored 23 points, pulled 14 rebounds, had 3 steals and drew 12 fouls to become the winning player this week with the highest index rating. Second in line was Nizhny Novgorod's Taylor Rochestie, who, with an index raing performance of 33, led his team also to the next phase. Rochestie scored 23 points - including 4 of 5 threes - combined with 7 assists and 6 drawn fouls. James Augustine of Khimki Moscow Region completed the podium this week with a 31 index rating that led his team to a 15-point win over Valencia Basket, but not enough to advance to the next phase.
