MANILA, Philippines — Troy Rosario hopes to lead National University anew as the Bulldogs gun for a quarterfinal berth against St. Benilde in the Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup Friday.

“As a veteran, I need to show the young guys how we should play,” said Rosario, the senior forward who fired 18 points in the Bulldogs’ 60-52 triumph against Emilio Aguinaldo College last week.

The Bulldogs (4-1), admittedly still adjusting from the departure of their team star Ray Parks, shoot for a fifth victory against the Blazers (3-2) in Group C at 4 p.m. at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.
