Sa sobrang dehado ng Letran, tanging nagawa ng Knights ay maka-lapit ng hanggang sa 14-22 lamang sa pagtatapos ng unang canto.

With Twin Towers 6-foot-6 Ranidel de Ocampo and 6-foot-7 Ervin Sotto at the helm, the St. Francis of Assisi Doves looked more like the dreaded pterodactyls of the Jurassic era.

St. Francis, the most dominant team in the collegiate rank today with due respect to UAAP and NCAA squads, is the favorite to lord it over in this year’s Champions’ League.

And for good reason.

The Doves are untouchables in two leagues they are playing in – the NCRAA and the UCAA.

Inaasahang hahatak ng sorpresa ang UA-P sa torneong ito kung saan pangungunahan ni NBL veteran Welihado Duyag ang UA-P.
