Games Sunday (Pasig City Sports Center)
2 p.m. – PITC vs Judiciary
3:30p.m. – PNP vs DA
5p.m. – AFP vs NHA
Two-time champion Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) tries to stretch its winning run to six games when it faces dangerous National Housing Authority (NHA) tomorrow kicking off the second round of elims in the 7th UNTV Cup on Sunday at the Pasic City Sports Center.
Coming off a five-game sweep of the Group A elims, the AFP Cavaliers are slightly favored in their 5 p.m. showdown with the NHA Builders who finish Group B elims at No. 2 with a 4-1 mark.
Equally exciting is the 3:30 p.m. showdown between streaking Philippine National Police and Department of Agriculture – two teams capable of advancing to the finals of the annual event for public servants and organized by UNTV president and CEO Dr. Daniel Razon.
The PNP Responders settled for No. 2 in Group A elims with a 3-2 mark followed by defending champion Senate (also with a 3-2 mark) and PITC (2-3).
Clashing in the opening game at 2 p.m. are PITC and two-time titlist Judiciary, which is also carrying a 2-3 mark in the event offering P4 million to the chosen charity of the champion team.
A lively shootout is expected in the AFP-NHA encounter as both teams are still fresh from rousing wins with the Cavaliers beating the Senate Defenders, 76-70, and the Builders scoring a massive 94-57 win over the Ombudsman Graft Busters.
