Coming up big for their respective teams in last season’s Finals, Isaac Go and Donald Tankoua are set to be feted in the 2018 Chooks-to-Go Collegiate Basketball Awards on Thursday night at The Bayleaf Hotel in Intramuros.
The two big men will receive this year’s Pivotal Player awards, which honor distinguished individuals who were crucial in their team’s drive to the championship, in the ceremony supported by Chooks-to-Go and The Bayleaf Intramuros.
The unassuming Go delivered it mattered most for Ateneo, hitting the big shots which paved the way for the Blue Eagles to win the UAAP Season 80 crown and end their five-year title drought.
Meanwhile, the Cameroonian Tankoua was a force to be reckoned with for San Beda, as his dominating presence inside the paint secured the Red Lions their back-to-back titles this past NCAA Season 93.
Also to be handed out in the night of glitz and glamor hosted by the UAAP-NCAA Press Corps are the Chooks-to-Go Player of the Year, Mythical Five, and Breakout Player.
