The Gilas Nationals play the final three games in their preparation for the FIBA Asia Championship against two familiar Middle Eastern rivals...Qatar and Jordan.
The Nationals last battled Jordan in last month's Jones Cup. The Jordanians came away with a 76-72 victory after the Nationals turned the ball over twice in the last minute of play.
And while the Nationals lost to Al-Rayyan of Qatar in the FIBA Asia Champions Cup held right here at home, they've also won convincingly against the Qataris in previous tournaments.
This series of games should give coach Rajko Toroman an indication of whether new recruits Jimmy Alapag, Ranidel De Ocampo and Kelly Williams have mastered the Gilas system of play.
