CEBU, Philippines - The University of Cebu Junior Webmasters and the Don Bosco Technology Center Greywolves gun for share of juniors division lead as they take on separate foes in the 16th Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation, Inc. men's basketball tournament at the Cebu Coliseum today.
The Junior Webmasters will go up against the Cebu Institute of Technology-University Wildkittens at 4 p.m., while the Greywolves will lock up horns with the Cebu Eastern College Dragons in the 1 p.m. opener.
Currently tied at second place with 4-1 cards, the Junior Webmasters and the Greywolves are both looking for a win that would align themselves atop the leaderboard with three-time defending champions Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu Magis Eagles (5-1).
Of the two, the Greywolves are more pressured to make an impression having suffered their first loss in devastating fashion at the hands of the mighty Magis Eagles, 48-73, during their previous match exactly a week ago.
Also, the Greywolves couldn't underestimate the upset-seeking Dragons, who have logged in three wins in six starts so far.
In the other juniors duel set at 2:30 p.m., the Southwestern University-Phinma Baby Cobras will try to improve their 2-4 record when they tackle the 1-4 University of San Carlos Baby Warriors.
Meanwhile, the first round of elimination in the collegiate division winds up with the University of San Jose-Recoletos Jaguars gunning for their fourth win in six games against the 1-4 University of Southern Philippines Foundation Panthers at 5:30 p.m. (FREEMAN)
