As part of its commitment to promote sports in the country, particularly college basketball, newly-crowned PBA D-League champion Blackwater Sports yesterday launched its "Blackwater Campus Tour."

Gilas Pilipinas head coach Chot Reyes gave his team a score of six in a scale of 1-10 when asked to evaluate the Nationals' readiness for the FIBA-Asia Championship after playing seven games in Lithuania during a two-week camp.

Coach Caloy Garcia is out to prove that he is a worthy successor to the ever popular Louie Alas when he debuts for the Letran Knights this Saturday in the opening of the NCAA at the Mall of Asia Arena.

University of Santo Tomas fell short of dethroning Ateneo in last year's UAAP championship series, but rather than mull what-could-have-been, the Growling Tigers and their coach looked at the setback as a learning experience.

Gilas Pilipinas is likely to have Saudi Arabia as its opening game opponent when the FIBA-Asia Championship fires off on Aug. 1 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

The graduation of the towering Greg Slaughter and the versatile Nico Salva has weakened considerably the offensive clout of the Ateneo Blue Eagles for the coming UAAP men's basketball championship.

Blackwater Sports may have swept the powerhouse NLEX Road Warriors to win their first-ever PBA D-League championship but for coach Leo Isaac, the road to the top was far from being easy.

Gilas Pilipinas ended its six-game friendly matches in Lithuania with a vengeful 90-88 win over Kaunas LSU-Baltai Friday night at the Svyturio Arena in Klaipeda City, Lithuania.
