                    [Summary] => 

A longer preparation and a sound training program are needed if the country is to win again the Southeast Asian Games basketball championship.


The usual threat posed by host Thailand and the fast emergence of Malaysia and Indonesia as growing cage powers in the region have the country hard-pressed to claim back the gold medal that mattered most to 80 million Filipinos.


The 24th edition of the biennial meet is set Dec. 6-15 in Nakhonratchasima in Thailand, with Harbour Centre team owner Mikee Romero tasked to bankroll the campaign of the national squad.

                    [Summary] => 

An explosive doubleheader in men’s basketball, bannered by the early clash between powerhouse teams St. Francis of Assisi College and Emilio Aguinaldo College, ushers the fifth season of the Universities and Colleges Athletic Association (UCAA) this coming Saturday at the San Andres gym in Malate.


The two-time defending champion Generals take on the Doves in the opener’s featured game, shortly after the match featuring host ACSAT against PSBA.


The Doves reigned during the first two seasons of the league (2002-03) until the General toppled them in 2004.

But it won’t be that easy.


Jose Cojuangco, the POC president, yesterday said this will only happen if the BAP is emptied of the same old faces and replace them with new ones.


"It must be emptied," said Cojuangco as he emerged from the PSA Forum, which he graced at the Pantalan Restaurant in Manila.
