THE REIGNING titleholder 2001 Dos Mil Uno made its way back to the finals to defend its crown after it outgunned the 1999ers, 71-64, in the knockout semifinals in Division 2 of the University of San Carlos North Alumni Basketball Conference Sinulog Homecoming Cup last weekend at the USC North Campus gym alongside Mango Avenue.
Conrad Plando led Batch 2011 with 18 points while Carlo Campos provided more scoring punch with 17 of his own.
But a great test awaits Dos Mil Uno in the best-of-three championship series of its division after the 2000 Millennium disposed of the Sipat 98 in dominant fashion, 72-50.
Andy Eyao finished with a game-high 22 points while Lex Lauron contributed 11.
Game 1 of the best-of-three finals series in all three divisions will be played this Saturday evening at the same venue.
