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.

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.
