                    [Title] => Early scare fails to derail Italy
                    [Summary] => SONDRIO–The Philippine national team stayed close for three quarters but collapsed in the homestretch as Italy overcame an early 13-point deficit to win, 93-59, in the four-nation, three-day Selecta RP-Euro Basketball Challenge at the Palascieghi here Tuesday night.


In previous games, Latvia beat the Philippines, 79-54, Italy defeated Ukraine, 89-72, and Latvia upended Ukraine, 86-75. Tonight’s twinbill features Italy (2-0) versus Latvia (2-0) for the title and the Philippines (0-2) versus Ukraine (0-2) for third place.

Tickets for the game are almost sold out. Philippine-Milan Basketball Association (PMBA) commissioner Mel Lazares said Filipinos in northern Italy are gobbling up the tickets for the rare opportunity to watch the Fighting 15–less Noy Castillo who stayed home to undergo twice-a-day therapy on his right big toe and foot–in action against the newly-formed Italian national squad.
