Group A

Top 16

A draw to set up the Top 16 groups was held on Monday, February 4, 2008 (the week after the end of the Regular Season), in Madrid.

The teams were placed into four pools, as follows:
* Level 1: The three group winners, plus the top-ranked second-place team
** CSKA, Panathinaikos, Lietuvos Rytas, Real Madrid
* Level 2: The remaining second-place teams, plus the top two third-place teams
** Maccabi, Montepaschi, Unicaja, TAU Cerámica
* Level 3: The remaining third-place team, plus the three fourth-place teams
** Barcelona, Efes, Žalgiris, Fenerbahçe
* Level 4: The fifth-place teams, plus the top ranked sixth-place team
** Olympiacos, Aris, Partizan, Lottomatica

Each Top 16 group included one team from each pool. The draw was conducted under the following restrictions:
#No more than two teams from the same Regular Season group can be placed in the same Top 16 group.
#No more than two teams from the same country can be placed in the same Top 16 group.
#If there is a conflict between these two restrictions, (1) will receive priority.

Another draw was held to determine the order of fixtures. In cases of two teams from the same city in the Top 16 (Panathinaikos and Olympiacos, Efes Pilsen and Fenerbahçe), they were scheduled so that only one of the two teams would be at home in a given week.
