AFP seeks semis vs Judiciary

MANILA, Philippines — Armed Forces of the Philippines (AFP) tries to boost its bid for an outright semis berth when it faces skidding Judiciary today while Philippine National Police (PNP) goes for win No. 6 in the seventh UNTV Cup at the Pasig City Sports Center.

The AFP Cavaliers collide with the Judiciary Magi at 2 p.m. with the former going for their second win in the second round and seventh overall in as many games since the first round of elims.

With a 2-5 record, the Magi need to win their remaining three games, including today’s match, if they are to advance to the quarters.

The top two teams after the second round advance to the semis automatically, the third to sixth placers playing in the quarters and the last two placers taking an early vacation.

In the quarters, the No. 3 team battles No. 6, while fourth-ranked team tangles with No. 5 in similar best-of-three series.
