Season host Perpetual Help venue for NCAA on Tour today

NATIONAL Collegiate Athletic Association Season 94 hosts Perpetual Help Altas take their turn in hosting the travelling bit “NCAA on Tour” today when they collide with the visiting San Sebastian Stags at their home in Las Piñas City.

Currently sporting a 2-2 card, Perpetual Help tries to get back to winning in its scheduled 4 p.m. match with San Sebastian in the Altas Gym.

The Altas dropped their last game against league-leading Lyceum Pirates, 91-77, that saw them faltered as the game progressed, something coach Frankie Lim rued about and looking forward to address.

“We had mental lapses. We can’t play like that and expect to win,” said Mr. Lim, referring to a second-quarter meltdown in their last game.

Leading Perpetual Help in the season is the duo of Nigerian Prince Eze and Edgar Charcos.

Eze is averaging 13.8 points and league-highs of 16.5 rebounds and 5.3 blocks while Charcos has been good for 19.8 points an outing.

Out to spoil the party of Perpetual Help in its home, meanwhile, is San Sebastian (3-4), victorious in its last assignment and is now looking for back-to-back wins to improve its record to the .500 mark.

Expected to continue to play sans key piece RK Ilagan because of a team-imposed suspension, the Stags nonetheless expressed readiness to compete in enemy territory.

“We just have to make do with what we have,” said San Sebastian coach Egay Macaraya, whose wards defeated the Mapua Cardinals, 94-70, on Tuesday. —
