MAPUA adds another champion in its lineup with the acquisition of rookie Mico Pascual.
Cardinals coach Chito Victolero confirmed the move on Thursday, coming to terms with the highly touted forward from Letran.
The 6-foot-3 Pascual is a dependable banger who helped the Squires claim the NCAA Season 101 juniors crown in tallying 9.1 points, 4.5 rebounds, 1.3 assists, and 1.3 steals.
Before joining Letran, he was part of the FEU-Diliman squad which won the UAAP Season 85 title back in 2023 then registered 8.9 points, 6.9 boards, and 1.8 dimes in his final year with the Baby Tamaraws in Season 87.
