THE defending champion La Salle Green Archers will be deadlier in their coming games in the 80th University Athletic Association of the Philippines men’s basketball tournament.
Coach Aldin Ayo said this is what will be expected of the Green Archers now that Ben Mbala has returned as they get ready for University of the Philippines Fighting Maroons at 4 p.m. today.
He said a better team chemistry among the players should be seen as Mbala tries to re-acquaint himself with his teammates.
“As if nothing happened. As if Ben never left. We knew that when was away, we gained a lot as a team,” said Ayo.
The Green Archers will be gunning for their fourth straight triumph when they play the Fighting Maroons, who will have Mali big man Ibraham Outtara facing off with Mbala.
The last time around, the 6’8” Mbala opened his campaign with a bang, hitting 32 points and 10 rebounds for the Green Archers when they demolished the Adamson 83-73.
