NT Press Release:
Panthers win against Costa Rica
Team Pilipinas had to endure another brutal first quarter before putting away a gritty Costa Rican squad last night at the San Antonio arena, 107 to 87. James Mabaquiao led seven Panthers in double figures, finishing the game with 17 points, 2 rebounds, and 2 assists.
Coach Lord Woody used a balanced offense against the Costa Ricans - “I just want to make sure no more players are injured,” Lord Woody said when asked why he chose to give players at least 20 minutes of playing time.
The win gives the Panthers a 4-3 record, but with one game left in the preliminary round of this season’s Consolation Tournament, the window to enter the next round appears to be shut. For the Philippines to qualify, Argentina, Taiwan, Canada, Peru, and Iran have to lose against their respective opponents, and the Philippines must win against Brazil. “There are too many conditions that have to be met. We will do our best against Brazil, and hope (those) teams will lose their last game
