/ 01:59 AM April 23, 2015

National University primes up for its UAAP title-retention campaign by seeing action in the 2015 Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup starting this Saturday at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

The Bulldogs, winners of the 2012 edition, stunned Far Eastern University Tamaraws to snap a 60-year drought in UAAP Season 77 last year.

Tipped as among the favorites this season, the Bulldogs get going on May 8 when they face the University of San Jose Recoletos Jaguars.
