                    [Summary] => It won’t take a Sherlock Holmes to figure out the importance of Pop Cola beating San Miguel Beer in the first game of a Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) Commissioner’s Cup twinbill at the PhilSports Arena tonight.


If Pop Cola (3-5) wins and Tanduay (3-5) loses to Red Bull in the nightcap, the Panthers automatically qualify for the quarterfinals. If Pop Cola loses and Tanduay wins, the Panthers join Shell by the wayside. If both Pop Cola and Tanduay win, they’ll slug it out in a playoff for the last ticket to the quarters.

They share views and ideas, sometimes plot strategies together and some other times even scout games sitting in one row in any playing venue.

However, chances are big Jacobs will take a leave of absence for a moment, leaving proteges Jong Uichico and Allan Caidic as they figure in a duel which can’t be avoided.

PBA operations director Richard Palou said they will begin their investigation with Tanduay with the ballclub reported to have made an irregular deal with Jarencio.

Palou said other Tanduay players will also be summoned later, hoping that they help shed light on the controversy. [DatePublished] => 2001-01-12 00:00:00 [ColumnID] => 133272 [Focus] => 0 [AuthorID] => 1096369 [AuthorName] => Joey Villar [SectionName] => Sports [SectionUrl] => sports [URL] => ) ) )
