Archers, Lions try to keep solid form

JUST days after La Salle blasted its fierce rival, coach Aldin Ayo wants his unbeaten Green Archers to stay as aggressive even if they’re up against a cellar-dweller in the Filoil Flying V Premier Cup today.

“We want to make it a habit that every time we play, we stick to the system,” said Ayo after his Archers clobbered Ateneo by a whopping 32 points, 98-66, last Sunday.

The Archers go for a sixth straight triumph versus struggling Lyceum in Group B of the preseason basketball tournament at 3:15 p.m. at Filoil Flying V Center in San Juan.

San Beda, also coming off a huge win over arch nemesis Letran, takes on unpredictable Adamson at 1:30 p.m.

Coach Jamike Jarin said he wants his Red Lions (4-1) to show the same sharp form in their 84-70 whipping of NCAA champion Letran.

Ateneo, tied with Adamson at 3-2 in Group B, tries to recover from its embarrassing loss versus Mapua at 5 p.m.

In Group A, National University eyes a share of the top spot in the 11:15 a.m. match versus University of the Philippines.
