MANILA, Philippines – Emilio Aguinaldo College (EAC) enters the NCAA Season 92 men's basketball tournament hoping to improve on last season's last-place finish.

Season 91 Record: 2-16

Season 92 Summary: The EAC Generals managed only two wins in Season 91, but one of those victories were against eventual champion Colegio de San Juan de Letran. They defeated the Knights, 83-69, in the first round to hand Letran their first loss of the tournament.

Unfortunately for the Generals, it turned out to be the high point of their season. They would go on to lose their remaining 11 games, often in blowout fashion.

Key returnees: Francis Munsayac, Sidney Onwubere, Hamadou Laminou

Key additions: Coach Ariel Sison, Irvin Mendoza, Jervin Guzman

Projections: Veteran EAC guard Francis Munsayac says there won't be a lot of expectations for the Generals this season, although they do want to improve upon last year's performance. They have already adjusted to the system of new coach Ariel Sison, who was elevated from the juniors team to handle the men's team. Rookies Irvin Mendoza and Jervin Guzman are expected to show some flashes of brilliance, but the Generals will still mostly rely on the hard work of Onwubere, Munsayac, and import Laminou.

Quote: "Wala namang expectations, pero sabi ni Coach, nowhere to go but up, kasi (last year) nasa bottom kami." – Francis Munsayac
