THE CEBU City Sharks-Casino Ethyl Alcohol will try to repeat over the Makati Super Crunch when they plunge back into action in the Maharlika Pilipinas Basketball League Datu Cup on Monday at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.
Winners of five of their last six games, the Sharks currently tote a 6-9 (win-loss) record and have actually won over Makati, 66-60, last month.
The Super Crunch, however, will be no pushover as evidenced by its 10-4 record, good for fourth place in the North Division.
The Sharks are actually coming off consecutive losses in two straight tune-up matches against local commercial teams Rollway and San Remigio Properties.
The San Remigio team of owner Mark Ynoc dealt the Sharks a 74-66 defeat last Friday in Dalaguete.
Nevertheless, Cebu City will try to keep its winning run going behind the efforts of big men Rhaffy Octobre and William McAloney and perimeter weapons, Patrick Cabahug and Jaybie Mantilla.
