CEBU CITY, Philippines—The University of San Carlos (USC) Warriors hope to extend their streak as they face the Cebu Institute of Technology University (CITU) Wildcats a senior division game of the 19th Cesafi men’s basketball tournament on Tuesday, September 1, 2019, at the Cebu Coliseum.

Games Tuesday:

(September 17, 2019)

Cebu Coliseum

5:15 p.m. CEC vs CITU (Junior)

6:45 p.m. USC vs CIT-U

Prior to the seniors division game, the CITU Wildkittens will face the Cebu Eastern College Dragons in the junior division.

The Warriors currently have a 2-1 win-loss record following their 62-55 outsmarting of the University of San Jose Recoletos (USJ-R) last September 14.

They are currently second in the standings behind Southwestern University (SWU) Phinma Cobras, who have taken early leadership with a 2-0 card.

The Wildcats, on the other hand, are aching  to barge into the win column after dropping its first game against USJ-R, 72-67, last August 31.

In contrast, CITU’s younger team, the Wildkittens, hope to bank on their first game success wherein they survived a nail-biting game against the SWU Phinma Baby Cobras, 68-66, last September 15.

The CEC Dragons, for their part, will also want to stretch their wins after they recovered from their first assignment loss with a 68-60 routing of the University of Cebu Lapu-Lapu and Mandaue last September 14. /bmjo
