5:00 p.m.- Rain or Shine vs. Talk N Text

7:30 p.m.- Coca Cola vs. Purefoods

Struggling teams Coca-Cola and Rain or Shine try to turn their fortunes around when they start the second round of the 35th PBA Philippine Cup against highly touted squads today at the Araneta Coliseum.

The Elasto Painters play the Talk N Text Tropang Texters in the first game, while the Tigers slug it out with the Purefoods Tender Juicy Giants in the main game.

The Tigers and the Painters both have forgettable campaigns in the first round with Coke the worst-performing squad, winning just once in nine battles.

Rain or Shine finished the first round with two wins and seven losses to tie the Barako Bull Energy Boosters at eighth and ninth spots.

Talk N Text finished the initial round with six wins and three losses for a two-way tie at third and fourth spots with idle Barangay Ginebra Gin Kings.

The Tropang Texters capped their first round campaign with aplomb, clawing back from a 30-point second quarter deficit to stun the Burger King Whoppers, 118-105.

Macmac Cardona led the big comeback by exploding for a conference-high 40 points that went along with 11 rebounds and four assists.
