Perpetual Help vs Mapua

THE PERPETUAL Help Altas try to inch closer to that elusive Final Four berth while the Jose Rizal University Heavy Bombers aim to keep their hopes for the semis alive when they face off against separate opponents today in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament at the Arena in San Juan City.

The Altas are currently in solo third place in the standings, owing to their 9-5 (win-loss) record. They face off against the Mapua Cardinals in the opener at 4 p.m. while JRU battles the St. Benilde Blazers in the night cap.

JRU is now trailing the Letran Knights for the last berth to the Final Four by half a game. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
