Lubao seek to impress in FIBA 3x3 debut

Lubao-MCFASolver Tech Centrale

Lubao-MCFASolver Tech Centrale is set to impress with their FIBA 3x3 debut at the Chooks-to-Go Cebu Masters this weekend.

The 12th seeds will be involved in the Qualifying Draw of the competition, where they have to deal with Auckland and Taichung.

They will face the Taiwanese side first, at 1245pm, followed by the Kiwis at 155pm.

Survive that, and they will enter into next stage as the third team of Pool D, where a Jimmer Fredette-led Miami and Asian powerhouse Ulaanbaatar MMC Energy beckons.

TH Tumalip believes that they are ready for the task ahead. He says, "Mahirap yung pagdadaanan namin pero handa kaming ipakita kung ano yung kaya namin. Pinaghandaan namin ng mabuti yung Cebu Masters at di kami susuko ng ganoon lang kadali."

TH will be with his teammate in claiming the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas 3x3 Quest 3.0 title, Jose Blasquez. The Anton Altamirano-coached side has tapped a familiar face in the 3x3 scene locally in former Lyceum FSA Mike Harry Nzeusseu, as well as the top-ranked Croatian 3x3 player in the world Stanko Kujundzic.

The Cebu Masters will be shown on FIBA 3x3's YouTube page, as well as the Chooks-to-Go Pilipinas' page on Facebook.
