USC Law, Angry Birds in Race for 4th Spot

Games on Friday, 4 May 2012

YMCA Indoor Basketball Court

9:00 p.m.       Hentai Sunday Club vs USC Law

10:00 p.m.     Angry Birds vs Brave Maroons

The USC Law and the Angry Birds have set their goals on finishing at the fourth spot after the first round schedule of the Cebu Recreational Basketball Association Season 1 tournament as they face separate opponents on Friday, May 4, 2012 at the YMCA Indoor Court.

The USC Law will face Hentai, a team that has put together 4 straight victories after losing their opening game to league-leaders PYFBA. Interestingly though, Hentai's last two wins were by default as the Azkals and the Angry Birds failed to show up in their scheduled match-ups. USC Law on the other hand are on a two-game roll thanks to a heart-pounding overtime victory over the T-boyz and then riding on the cushion of a 15-point penalty for the Azkals who showed up late for their game. USC Law awaits the return of forward Kevin Corbita who missed the game against the Azkals. 

On the other hand, the struggling Angry Birds will face the unpredictable Brave Maroons who are also trying to solidify their hold of the third spot. The Angry Birds have lost three straight after winning its first two assignments. The youthful and game Brave Maroons are coming off a difficult loss to league leaders PYFBA but are upbeat as they will need only one more win to clinch a twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals. While their last assignment will be against the lowly T-boyz, the Maroons want to finish the first round on a winning streak. The Maroons will be playing without forward Winston Panal. Also doubtful are forward Carl Dalid and point guard Ashley Villardar.
