    Diliman College eyes share of UCBL lead as Scorpions seek redemption

    diliman college will face former champion ceu ucbl season 3
    Sep 19, 2018

    Games Wednesday (Olivarez College gym, Parañaque City): 12 noon – SJCB vs PCU-D; 2 p.m. – Diliman vs CEU

    DILIMAN College tries to join a logjam at the top when it battles former champion Centro Escolar University on Wednesday in the Universities and Colleges Basketball League (UCBL) Season 3 at the Olivarez College gym in Parañaque City.

    The Diliman Blue Dragons and the CEU Scorpions clash at 2 p.m. with the former out to keep abreast with the Olivarez Sea Lions and the Technological Institute of the Philippines Engineers who notched their second straight wins on Monday.

    Diliman made known its title aspiration with a massive 126-71 rout of St. Joseph College of Bulacan last week – thanks to the impressive debut of Benin’s Kevine Gandjeto.

    The 6-foot-2 Gandjeto tallied 20 points, six rebounds, five blocks and two assists as the Blue Dragons posted the league’s highest output so far.

    Diliman coach Rensy Bajar, however, sees a close call against the Scorpions of coach Derrick Pumaren.

    “We are preparing hard because we know how dangerous CEU is,” said Bajar, who is one of the assistant coaches of NorthPort’s Pido Jarencio in the PBA.

    Redemption will be in the mind of Pumaren and his boys after absorbing a stinging 86-83 loss to the Sea Lions in the league opener.

    Out to lead the Scorpions are the 6-foot-11 Senegalese Maodo Malick Diouf, veteran guard Orlan Wamar and Tyron Chan.

    Clashing at 12 noon in the tournament backed by CaféFrance, Yakult, Gerry’s Grill, Hapee Toothpaste, MaxSell Power Tool and Tough Mama Home and Kitchen Appliances, Tanduay Athletics and Toyota Motors Philippines are St. Joseph College and Philippine Christian University-Dasmarinas.

    Like St. Joseph, PCU is still smarting from a crushing 80-64 loss to Olivarez last Monday.
