PIER ONE Bar and Grill-Sacred Heart School-Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) Magis Eagles will gun for a second straight victory even as the SCTI of head coach Mark Tallo debuts in the Jr. Cebu Basketball Association (CBA) today at the Cebu Eastern College gym.
Pier One, which is bannered by the core of the SHS-AdC Magis Eagles who are bound for the national finals of the National Basketball Training Center (NBTC) Elite League in the next couple of weeks, will be facing off against the Salazar Colleges of Science and Institute of Technology (SCSIT) Baby Skyblazers in the main game at 4:30 p.m.
The two squads are coming off contrasting results in their previous games.
SCSIT is coming off a 60-69 loss at the hands of Aerophone while Pier One demolished the Athletes for Christ in Excellent Service (ACES) in the games last Wednesday.
The Aces will be aiming to bounce back in the opening matchup today when they face off against the Tallo-coached SCTI.
