Must-Win For Gilas Today!

A win means a chance of finishing in the top two of the Jones Cup. A loss means dropping down to, at best, fourth place.

Smart-Gilas is currently in a three way tie at 2nd place with host Chinese Taipei and tormentor Jordan on the fifth day of Jones Cup hostilities.

South Korea is securely on top with a clean record, one that Gilas hopes to blemish today.



Losing to South Korea would be catastrophic, as Glas would drop down to 3-2. South Korea would virtually clinch a finals slot with a 5-0 record, leaving Chinese Taipei and Jordan, both expected to win against their opponents UAE and Japan respectively, with 4-1 records and the inside track for the other finals slot.

Marcus Douthit and JV Casio, who were both rested yesterday by coach Rajko Toroman, are expected to lead the Philippine charge against the sweet shooting Koreans.
