Skidding Bulldogs try to rebound vs Archers

-

MANILA, Philippines - National U tries to check a two-game skid as it tangles with La Salle at the resumption of the Filoil Flying V Hanes Pre-Season Premier Cup at the Flying V Arena in San Juan today.

The Bulldogs swept their first four matches but bowed to Group A leaders San Sebastian and Ateneo and fell to third place.

The Green Archers, on the other hand, hope to improve their 1-2 record and deal the Bulldogs their third straight setback in the tournament.

Gametime is at 3:15 p.m.

In a key Group B match, Mapua (3-2) and University of the East (3-4) collide at 1:30 p.m.

‘’It’s about our development as a team. That’s what’s important and that’s what we need to see as each game passes. We just need to continue pushing,’’ said NU coach Eric Altamirano.

Bobby Ray Parks is tipped to lead the Bulldogs’ bid again with the talented rookie Fil-Am hoping to keep the lead in the MVP derby with 303 statistical points.

The Green Archers, meanwhile, are coming off a one-month training in the US and try to shake off a long layoff.

La Salle dropped an 81-88 setback to the Stags last April 27 in their last game.

Meanwhile, ringside tickets for the Ateneo-La Salle match on June 4 have been sold out.

However, the lower box (P200) and upper box (P100) tickets are still available at all SM ticket outlets.
