The Philippine Super Liga’s new guest team may be playing in the Invitational Conference for just three days, but the Japanese team knows its stint in the local league won’t be a stroll in the park.
Kobe Shinwa University head coach Kiyokazu Yamamoto said Wednesday they are expecting a tough task ahead of them as they take on the top three teams in the PSL.
“We expect that we will learn a lot from the top three teams in the PSL,” said Yamamoto.
Kobe Shinwa will face Foton on Thursday, Cignal on Friday, and Petron on Saturday with all three games taking place at Filoil Flying V Centre.
Yamamoto added their short stint in the PSL will help them prepare for their tournament in Japan come April.
“What we can learn from this league will help us in our college tournament and hopefully we’ll win that tournament,” said Yamamoto.
Last year’s Invitational Conference featured Est Cola as the guest team.
