You see the lineup of the other team, siguro, talagang may advantage kami in today&#x27;s game. Pero ang main focus naman namin why we joined is para makuha namin &#x27;yung timing namin,&quot; said head coach Jack Santiago.</p><ul class="op-related-articles">	<li><a href="https://news.abs-cbn.com/sports/08/03/22/filoil-adamson-holds-off-perpetual-to-stay-unbeaten">FilOil: Adamson holds off Perpetual to stay unbeaten</a></li></ul><p>Mapua remains locked out of the win column after three games.

He&#x27;s mourning a family member so he dedicates this game to him. Our prayers are out to him as well,” said head coach Charles Tiu of his point guard Nayve, who registered half of CSB&#x27;s 12 makes from long-range.</p><p>All of the Blazers were determined to move forward from the 56-point shellacking they experienced at the hands of the University of the Philippines (UP) two days ago.</p><p>&quot;First off, we wanted to bounce back.
