The Bulls hit the halfway mark of the double-round eliminations with a 7-2 win-loss record although they have yet to play the Dragons.
The two teams play the first of their two games in the elims at 7:20 p.m. today with the Bulls fancied to sustain their hot surge and bolt out of a three-way logjam with the Aces and the Kings atop the field.
Talk n Text and Sta. Lucia Realty, tied at sixth place on their identical 3-5 win-loss records, clash in the other game at 4:35 p.m.
New Welcoat import Rob Sanders plays his second game in the local pro league and he may have a tougher assignment in James Penny.
A product of Providence College and an ABA All-Star player, Sanders had decent numbers in his debut but the Dragons fell short in their bid against the San Miguel Beermen, 90-96, Sunday.
Sanders tallied 29 points, 14 rebounds, six assists and four blocks versus the Beermen.
