Traditional powerhouse Chélu Bar & Grill goes for its first winning streak when it takes on winless league rookie McDavid in the 2019 Philippine Basketball Association Developmental League today at the JCSGO Gym in Cubao, Quezon City.
The last season’s twice runners-up Revellers shoot for their maiden back-to-back victories this season against McDavid at 4 p.m. in the Aspirants Group.
Facing a struggling team, Chélu head coach Stevenson Tiu warns his wards of complacency.
“I’m always reminding my players that even though they’re talented and experienced, it’s a guarantee that we’ll win. We have to work hard every game whichever team we face,” said Tiu.
Coming off a 77-82 loss to surprise leader St. Clare College-Virtual Reality, Chélu strikingly bounced back with an 89-63 demolition of Batangas-Emilio Aguinaldo College behind Sean Manganti last March 12.
Former Adamson University skipper Manganti is expected to take charge of the Revellers anew together with veterans Jeff Viernes, Jesse Collado and Jay-R Taganas as they aim to improve their 2-1 record.
But McDavid is aching to get its breakthrough win following a three-game losing start capped by a 64-89 defeat at the hands of Petron-Colegio de Sa Juan de Letran.
The Allen Ricardo-mentored team will pin its hopes on David Caranguian, Michael Sorela, James Martinez and Jan Colina.
In the 2 p.m. opener, Marinerong Pilipino (2-2) guns for a rebound win against tough-luck The Masterpiece Clothing-Trinity University of Asia (0-3).
The Skippers surrendered a 78-88 decision to Wangs Basketball last March 14 while the White Stallions suffered their third consecutive setback to Cha Dao-Far Eastern University, 81-106, on the same game day.
