Depleted Tams clash with Stags
Far Eastern University and San Sebastian get their Sweet 16 bids going in the Luzon-Metro Manila division of the Philippine Collegiate Champions League (PCCL) today at Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.
Seeded in the stepladder phase, the Tamaraws and the Stags battle at 4 p.m., with the winner moving closer to the last Final Four berth at stake.
University of the East and National University, both coming off grueling wins, also aim to advance in their 2 p.m. match.
The Bulldogs outlasted the Perpetual Help Altas, 70-67, behind the late heroics of Ray Parks last Tuesday in Batangas.
The Warriors leaned on Roi Sumang for an 81-60 disposal of University of Batangas.
Although the Tamaraws are favored over the Stags, FEU coach Nash Racela has to do without the stars that carried them to the UAAP Final Four this season.
This year’s UAAP Most Valuable Player Terrence Romeo and ace guard RR Garcia, also a former MVP, both turned pro recently.
