UNIVERSITY of the Visayas head coach Gary Cortes aired his frustration when his team captain Raffy Octobre was disqualified from the Cebu Schools Athletic Foundation Inc. for academic deficiencies.

Had I known about it earlier, I would not have included him in our pre-season tune-up games and tournaments.
