THE REIGNING champions University of Cebu (UC) Webmasters and the University of San Carlos (USC) Warriors aim to create a three-way logjam for third place in the standings when they tackle separate opponents at the end of the elimination round in the 12th Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. men’s basketball tournament today at the Cebu Coliseum.

The Webmasters take on the winless University of Southern Philippines Foundation Panthers while the Warriors face off against the embattled Cebu Institute of Technology-University Wildcats, which will be playing without suspended head coach Gilbert Demape.

Both UC and USC own identical 2-3 (win-loss) records and will be trying to catch up with the third-running Southwestern University Cobras, which evened their record to 3-3 after spanking the Warriors last Thursday, 98-63.

The top-ranked University of the Visayas Green Lancers are already waiting in the semifinals by virtue of their clean record after this round. The rest of the teams will play a single round-robin in the quarterfinals, which start tomorrow. /Correspondent Jonas Panerio
