Dragons clash with Iloilo five

Pampanga and Davao take their turn to open their houses for the MBA 2000 season today as they play host to Iloilo and Pasig-Rizal, respectively, three days after the successful league inaugurals in Gen. Santos City and in Sta. Cruz, Laguna.

It's an explosive twinbill with the Dragons, the Eagles, the Megavoltz and the Pirates all considered major contenders for the crown as they all underwent a massive buildup in the off-season.

The Dragons and the Megavoltz test each other's mettle at 4 p.m. at the Bren Guiao Convention Center before the Eagles and the Pirates pit their retooled talents at 6:30 p.m. at the Rizal Memorial College gym.

All four teams set out for the season practically with a new look as officials of each one deemed it better to overhaul their lineup although they just narrowly missed the finals last year. -
