The Siniloan Blues try to keep their hold of the top spot in the standings this weekend when they face the Paranaque Nets. The Blues are coming off a rousing 3-0 win over the Pasig Pirates behind the efforts of Joaquin Collo and Rob Cyrow Delima. Both teams meet at 7:45 p.m.

In the other match also set for 7:45 p.m., the Quezon City Heroes try to extend their winning run when they face the Pampanga Strikers. The Heroes are coming off a 3-1 win over the Nets in Week 10.

However, they will have their work cut out for them against the Strikers. Pampanga is expected to regroup and get back on the winning track after bowing to the Alabang South Supers last time out, 3-1.

In the main game set at 9:00 p.m., the South Supers will likewise try to continue their winning run when they tangle with the BGC Soldiers.

Getting a huge lift from Akinwunmi Bolaji and Stephan Schrock in their last assignment, Alabang goes for win no. 6 against the Soldiers.

The Blues, South Supers, and Strikers are currently the top three teams in the field with 15 points each. Not far behind are the Pirates, Nets, and Soldiers with 12 apiece. Intense action is expected this Sunday as the tournament nears the end of the elimination round.
