    A DAY before Game 3 of the college basketball finals, I told Superbalita sports reporter Erwin Lirazan that it seems former champion University of the Visayas was out of it, what with the odds stacked against them. Not only did UV lose to the Southwestern University five straight times this season, the Lancers also lost two key players going to Game 3.

    Surely they couldn’t beat those odds? (READ MORE)

(Cesafi) College Division’s best-of-5 championship series to 2-2 at the Cebu Coliseum last night.

    The Lancers played like a well-oiled war machine, hitting the Cobras hard then holding steady in the final minutes when the defending champions were hot on their tail, to force the rubber-match at 4 p.m. on Thursday. (READ MORE)

    I CALLED him up at 12:15 yesterday. I thought he’d be having lunch. Instead, my eardrums were greeted with a symphony of sounds: balls dribbling, rubber shoes squeaking against the wooden floor, the referees’ whistles reverberating.

    The Cobras now lead in the best of five championship series, 2-0, after their fifth win over the Lancers this season. It was also their eighth straight win over UV, counting their Game 4 and 5 wins in last year’s finals and the Southern Island Championships of the PCCL last year. (READ MORE)

    Given the mediocre showing of the Lancers in Game 1 against the well-oiled Cobras, after tonight’s Game 2, the Cobras could be just a win away from the title. (READ MORE)
