The Red Lions, currently tied for second spot with the Jose Rizal U Heavy Bombers with similar 6-1 slates, are not discounting that the lowly Great Danes can pull off a surprise and are gearing for tough match.
“I want my team to always play their best and against (AUF) we will go out aggressively," said San Beda mentor Frankie Lim, who is aiming to give the Mendiola-based team its fourth straight title and 15th overall crown.
Lim showed how his Lions can tear their enemy down to pieces when they ambushed EAC, 95-71, last Friday and league followers believe that San Beda can do the same against AUF which have so far won just once in seven games in the first round of eliminations.
Lim is also looking at the match against Angeles U as a preparation for their next game against the Heavy Bombers on Monday, August 10. “We’re looking forward to our game against Jose Rizal but first things first we have to play AUF."
Meanwhile, the Knights are aiming for a win against the Generals in order to their hold of the fourth spot. Currently, the Knights have erected a 4-3 record and are half a game ahead of College of Saint Benilde.
Like San Beda, Letran is preparing for a tough match when it meets league-leading San Sebastian on August 14.
The Generals have scored amazing upset wins over the Mapua Cardinals and the CSB Blazers to improve to 2-5 before suffering a humiliating loss against San Beda.
Letran coach Louie Alas, however, remains cautious despite EAC absorbing a 95-71 drubbing from San Beda. “We can’t underestimate any team, EAC is no exception." – Perry Legaspi, GMANews.TV
