Prince Eze named as the Player of the Week

The NCAA Press Corps did not need to deliberate long to determine this week's Chooks-to-Go Player of the Week.

Prince Eze made things easy for the media to name him for this week, after his buzzer-beating putback to clinch an 83-81 victory for the University of Perpetual Help System Dalta over a then-unbeaten Lyceum last Friday. He beat out his teammate Edgar Charcos, JP Calvo and Bong Quinto of Letran, Justin Gutang of CSB, and Robert Bolick of San Beda for the nod.

The Pirates came into their matchup toting a 30-game winning streak in the eliminations, but the Nigerian student-athlete pounded the paint with 25 points, 23 rebounds, and a couple of blocks to secure the victory for Perpetual, their seventh win this season and keeps them within .

Eze would exclaim heading into the press room, "I know it’s possible. I know it’s possible!"

Perpetual head coach Frankie Lim beamed, "Big game by Eze of course. He has MVP stats again." He adds, "They really delivered and sabi ko nga sa pre-game ko, ‘I want to see u guys on attack mode,’ And that’s what exactly happened."

Prince also shared this nugget to the media after the game, "I saw something in our last game, the defense we played, I saw a lot of things. We have a lot of rookies in our team so we just have to follow the coaches which tell us what to do. We just keep on fighting."
