So this year, we said that we’re going to improve. Our tagline is ‘Bigger and Better,’” said Tournament Director Peachy Medina on Tuesday during the league’s press conference at the Microtel in Pasay City.Last year’s tournament saw the Lady Macbeth Riots triumph against Army Altama in the Finals which was held in Robinsons Magnolia.This year, the league opted to move into a bigger venue as it hopes to deliver on its mantra. “First thing, we moved to a bigger venue so it opens up a lot of possibilities. We now have a fan zone, and a practice court which is very important in improving the quality of the game,” added Medina“We want everybody to be aware of how women’s basketball has developed. It’s very fun and entertaining, and we’d like for everyone to see how it’s progressed.”Samahang Basketbol ng Pilipinas’ executive director Erika Dy was also present in the festivities, and she hailed the league’s initiatives that help promote the SBP’s program to further strengthen and develop women’s basketball in the country.“It’s very big. As a federation, what you can do for the industry is to initiate projects,” she said, pertaining to the SBP.”But if it’s your stakeholders, when they get involved and come up with tournaments like this, that’s really going to contribute to the industry,” Dy added.Gilas Pilipinas Women, as well as international teams Dinoman Hansol of Korea, Owls.EXE and Zoos Tokyo of Japan, Shoot It Dragons of Thailand, and Jumpshot of Singapore are set to join the two-day event.Also in are the Japanese squad Tokyo Dime, Korean team Unicle, Royals Basketball of Australia, and Shiv Nadar School of India.With the number of players, especially those eligible to play for Gilas women’s, the country’s 3x3 National Director Eric Altamirano bared that the tournament will also aid the SBP as they ramp up their preparation for the FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup in March. “We wanted to use this tournament to evaluate the players in the pool. This will give us a chance to find out who can play for the upcoming FIBA 3x3 Asia Cup,” said the former NU Bulldogs head coach.“Very timely that we have the Manila Hustle, and yung WPBA 3x3, so we wanted to use these tournaments to assess and find out who we can put for the FIBA Asia Cup,” he added.The tilt will be held on February 3-4 at the SM Mall of Asia Music Hall, and the victor will receive a $3,000 (Php167,000) cash prize. The full list of teams and players are as follows:<ul><li>Army Altama: Camille Sambile, Love Joy Sto.
