The Pharmacists are heavily fancied over the Iridologists in their 5:30 p.m. encounter as they gun for their seventh win in 11 games and a 1 1/2-game lead over second running Hapee, which totes an even 5-5 card.
Pharmaquick outlasted Osaka, 88-85, in their first meeting.
In the other game, Montana tangles with Ateneo-Pioneer at 3:30 p.m.
Pharmaquick only needs to hurdle its last two assignments to emerge the top team in Group B and hope that Hapee lose its remaining game to gain a playoff against the Group A No. 4 team for the last semifinals slot.
Hapee is only a win away from sweeping the quarterfinal round.
