MANILA, Philippines — Four eliminated teams hope to wrap up their campaigns with a victory in the Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup Wednesday.

Mapua guns for back-to-back wins against St. Clare in Group B at 2:15 p.m., while Emilio Aguinaldo College aims for a third triumph versus University of the Philippines in Group C at 4 p.m. at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

The EAC Generals (2-3) missed a chance to earn a wild-card berth after falling short to National University, 52-60, last week.
