PBA DL: Cignal-Ateneo eyes quarters edge


by Jonas Terrado

Quarterfinal-bound Cignal-Ateneo looks to secure a twice-to-beat advantage against Che’Lu Bar & Grill today in PBA D-League at the JCSGO Gym in Cubao.

The Blue Eagles, who lead the Aspirants Group with a 7-1 record, take on the Revellers at 3 p.m. in the final game of their elimination round assignment.

Ironcon-University of Santo Tomas, on the other hand, hopes to boost its quarters bid against lowly McDavid in the 1 p.m. opener.

Each of the top two teams in the Aspirants and Foundation Groups earn twice-to-beat bonuses in the crossover quarterfinals of the 20-team D-League season.

Meanwhile, Ironcon-UST is out to vent its ire on McDavid after a 4-0 start came to an end with a 114-101 defeat to Petron-Letran.
