UV plays UM for Final 4 slot

-

After a 101-80 annihilation of the Lyceum of the Philippines the other day, the University of the Visayas (UV) Green Lancers plays the University of Mindanao in the 5th Collegiate Champions League today at the San Juan Arena.

A place in the Final Four awaits the Green Lancers should they win against the Mindanao bet. Matches in the Final Four will not start until November 26.

Game time is at 2 p.m.

The seven-time CESAFI champions will again rely on veteran Ariel Mepaña, who showed hardly a sign of an ACL injury that sidelined him last year.

Ready to give UV the needed boost are the likes of Von Harry Lanete, Michael Luga, Harlow Chad Villanil, Chris Victor Diputado and Ritchum Dennison.

In the game with Lyceum, the Green Lancers torched the net with a torrid shooting from beyond the arc forcing Lyceum to extend their defense to cover the shooters.

The shooters got open because UV’s big men in 6’11” Fil-Am giant Gregory Fuentes Slaughter and 6’7” Rino Berami controlled the paint.

If the Green Lancers win against UM, they move into the Final Four for the first time since competing in the CCL in 2003.  (GGM)
