In other games, the My Led Opto-Cebu Institute of Technology Wildcats aim for their second victory of the competition when they take on the winless Panthers in the opening game at 1 p.m. The reigning Cesafi champions Cebu Landmasters-University of San Carlos Warriors on the other hand, seek to steady their ship when they face off against the Jaguars.
