cebuana lhuillier squares off with cafe france

CEBUANA Lhuillier and Café France look to shore up their respective campaigns as they take on different opponents in the PBA D-League Foundation Cup today at the Arena in San Juan City.

The Gems test the mettle of EA Regens at 12 noon, looking to stretch their winning run to three games while the Bakers try to bounce back from last week’s loss to defending champion NLEX when it battles the skidding Hog’s Breath at 4 p.m. The other game pits struggling teams Jumbo Plastic and Informatics at 2 p.m.

Cebuana and Café France are tied at third place with 4-1 (win-loss) records. They hope to finish in the top half at the end of the eliminations to earn some advantage going to into the playoffs.

The top two teams after the eliminations gain outright passage in the semifinals while the third and fourth placed teams advance to quarterfinals with a twice-to-beat advantage./Correspondent Jonas Panerio
