Games Thursday
(Ynares Sports Arena, Pasig City)
12 noon – Batangas-EAC vs McDavid
2 p.m. – Wangs vs Metropac-San Beda
4 p.m. – Petron-Letran vs Che’Lu
Metropac-San Beda shoots for its second straight win while Petron-Letran makes its debut to highlight the latest tripleheader in the PBA D-League at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.
The Movers takes on Wangs Basketball at 2 p.m. while the Knights meet Che’Lu Bar and Grill in the other contest set at 4 p.m.
Batangas-Emilio Aguinaldo College and McDavid seek their first victory in their 12 noon encounter.
San Beda hopes to get another strong showing from Donald Tankoua and James Canlas as it faces a Wangs team that could make things difficult for coach Boyet Fernandez.
Wangs likewise began its stint with a victory by trouncing The Masterpiece-Trinity University of Asia, 89-69, last week.
The Couriers are expected to be led by former Far Eastern University mainstay Arvin Tolentino and ex-San Beda playmaker Radge Tongco.
Meanwhile, Petron-Letran, coached by Bonnie Tan, looks to begin its own title bid on the right track behind University of the East star Alvin Pasaol and Jerrick Balanza, who is set to return on the hardcourt after a lengthy absence.
Balanza was diagnosed with a brain tumor, prompting him to miss the remainder of Letran’s NCAA campaign last season.
Looking to foil the Knights are the Revellers, who are eager to atone for their failure to win the championship in both last year’s Aspirants and Foundation Cups.
