Games today (JCSGO Gym, Cubao)
1:30 p.m. – CEU vs iWalk
3:30 p.m. – Italiano’s vs Black Mamba
MANILA, Philippines — Undefeated Centro Escolar U shoots for a playoff seat when it faces dangerous neophyte iWalk today in Group A tussle of the PBA D-League Foundation Cup today at the JCSGO Gym in Cubao, Quezon City.
Unblemished with 3-0 card, a victory over the Chargers would make the Scorpions the second squad to qualify in Group A playoffs after Marinerong Pilipino (4-0).
League newcomers Italiano’s Homme and Black Mamba, meanwhile, square off at 3:30 p.m. with both teams hoping to recover lost ground.
CEU enjoys the advantage in youth, speed and energy which head coach Derrick Pumaren hopes to be the difference-maker in their fourth straight win bid.
“We are a young team. But as long as we outwork iWalk, I see no problem,” Pumaren said after the Scorpions’ 86-77 win over fellow school-based squad AMA last week.
