                    [Summary] => With Viva Mineral Water-FEU already in the finals, Welcoat tries to zero in on the other berth as it takes on defending champion Hapee Toothpaste today even as newcomer Toyota Otis-Letran hopes to stay in the hunt against the top team in the PBL Unity Cup at the Makati Coliseum.


Hapee and Welcoat, two teams with similar winning legacy to protect, collide at 2 p.m. in a game expected to be as exciting and bruising as their title series in the last conference.

                    [Summary] => Viva-FEU is expected to return to action in the PBL Unity Cup with a bang after a triumphant stint in an invitational tournament abroad.


With the rich experience they’ve gained playing Korean, Japanese and local rivals in Guam, the Tamaraws could well put up a good game against the reigning champions Hapee Toothpaste Sparklers at the UST gym tomorrow. 


"It will definitely help," said Viva-FEU coach Koy Banal of their Guam stint where they beat Japan’s Daito Banka University, Korea University and University of Guam for the championship.

Though the league lost some of its marquee players, among them Rich Alvarez, James Yap and Peter June Simon, to the pro league last month, the season-opening tournament will remain as vibrant and exciting as the last conference, according to commissioner Chino Trinidad.
