                    [Title] => Game 5: Battle to the last man
                    [Summary] => Coach Joel Banal believes his Talk n Text squad possesses a killer instinct that it would not just relent on pounding and pummeling a beleaguered opponent.  


Coach Siot Tanquingcen, meanwhile, is convinced his Barangay Ginebra team has a big pride that it would fight hard to avoid further humiliation.

The Phone Pals seek to keep domination while the Kings are out for redemption as the two teams, now squared up with two games apiece, clash in the pivotal Game Five of the Gran Matador PBA Philippine Cup best-of-seven title playoff at the Araneta Coliseum today.

Talk n Text top honcho Ricky Vargas told The STAR they made the decision to ease the conflict of schedule Banal is currently facing. His stint with the Phone Pals may be extended at most up to Wednesday if the title showdown goes the full route.

[Summary] => They did the feat over a decade ago, and four teams after them duplicated it, with two even going beyond that, practically making the UAAP their private preserve for a time.

The feat is winning the UAAP crown for two consecutive years, something Ateneo has done in 1987 and 1988 and the same thing that has suddenly beckoned the Eagles after they won an epic battle with long-time rival the La Salle Green Archers for the 2002 UAAP title Sunday.

With their backs against the wall after a jarring three-game skid and a season-ending injury to ace point guard L.A. Tenorio, the Blue Eagles bounced back with a 90-79 win over lowly National University last Thursday for an even 5-5 record.

But to stay on top is even harder.

Coach Joel Banal knows that the trek to the finals would be much tougher as he instructed his wards to double their efforts against Blu Detergent today in the semifinals of the 2002 PBL Chairman’s Cup at the Makati Coliseum.

The 5 p.m. match is crucial since a loss by the Blue Eagles will install the Detergent Kings on top of the five-team, carry-over semifinals.

Kutitap Toothpaste also seeks its second semifinal win against Shark Energy Drink at 3.
