Realtors to test mettle of unbeaten Pals

- Joey Villar, Nelson Beltran -
After relatively easy wins over San Miguel Beer and Air21, Talk n Text could face its first serious challenge in the San Mig Coffee PBA Fiesta Cup today when it goes up against a much-improved Sta. Lucia Realty squad at the Araneta Coliseum.

Barangay Ginebra and Alaska Milk are also tipped to figure in an all-out battle as they play in the day’s other game.

Talk n Text coach Joel Banal himself expects a tough fight versus the Realtors who dished out impressive performance in their last two games against the Barangay Ginebra Kings and the Coca-Cola Tigers despite a depleted lineup.

The Realtors also hung tough before dropping a close game versus the Alaska Milk Aces in their debut in the tourney last Oct. 5.

Sta. Lucia appears to be bucking the odds and has some played beyond expectation so early in the season.

"We’ve caught some big ones in Ginebra and Coca-Cola.

"These are big achievements for us since we know we’re rated in the bottom of the heap," said Sta. Lucia coach Alfrancis Chua.
