Inspired Kia Motors-CIT-U squad takes on Prime Asia UV

Games today:

Cebu Coliseum

5 p.m. – Kia Motors-CIT-U vs. Prime Asia-UV

6:45 p.m. –Gaisano Tisa-UC vs. San Marino-USPF

AFTER COMING from behind to surprise the San Marino Corned Tuna-University of Southern Philippines Foundation (USPF) Panthers, the Kia Motors-Cebu Institute of Technology-University (CIT-U) look to build on that success today when they take on the defending champions Prime Asia-University of the Visayas (UV) Green Lancers in the 6th Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc.  Partner’s Cup at the Cebu Coliseum.

The Green Lancers take the stage today armed with the league’s leading record at 2-0 (win-loss) but the Wildcats, who are fresh off their monumental 89-87 win over the Panthers last Tuesday—a win made more impressive by the fact that they had to come back from a 16-point second half deficit—are poised to dampen UV’s cause.

The retooled Gaisano Tisa-University of Cebu (UC) Webmasters will also aim to barge into the win column as they face off against the reeling San Marino Corned Tuna-USPF  in the second game.

Life without June Mar Fajardo started off on a sour note as UC lost, 62-80, to the Lion Tiger Aerosol-University of San Jose-Recoletos in their first game of this tournament.

Fajardo, the main catalyst behind their two titles in the Cesafi, has moved on to the big leagues and is now playing for the San Miguel Beermen. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
