Team Philippines defeats Mexico 104-90
In our first game for last chance qualifiers we handed Mexico its first loss of the tournament. We were determined to start the tournament strong and the new additions played quality minutes, Paler, as our back up center made his presence felt as he protected the interior. Montenejo after sitting out two seasons responded by directing the offense. Halim also played very well.
Valenzuela and Musa were just too tough for the Mexicans to handle sharing MVP honors of the game. The next assignment is Poland (4th) World ranked. I would have rather have met them at the start of the tournament but ito ang binigay na schedule sa atin. In the outside chance that we beat them, we should be able to take care of business against Al Maghrib. All our eggs are in the basket for the next game. If we win we increase our chances of going to the World Championships. Pagnatalo tayo we fight for HCA sa consolation round. Congratulations and good luck to osting our new u21 coach.
