Last semis game reset to Saturday
Red Rice will have to wait for a couple of more days to determine its finals foe in the 2015 Blue Haus/IT&E Inter-Color Basketball League as yesterday’s semis game between Makalaro Lang and Mamba was suspended anew due to rain.
League coordinator Elmer Esdrelon said the Makalaro Lang-Mamba duel for the second and last finals berth will be played this Saturday, weather permitting. If the Final Four pairing will be rained-out for the third time, it will be rescheduled for Sunday, while the winner-take-all title match will be held on Oct. 31.
The Makalaro Lang-Mamba semis encounter was originally set for last Saturday, but was cancelled due to Tropical Storm Champi, while the Final Four pairing between Red Rice and Pasion De Amor went ahead last Sunday. Red Rice downed Pasion De Amor, 91-77, to notch the first finals ticket. Pasion De Amor, Red Rice, and Mamba made it to the semifinals after surviving their first playoff round assignments, while Makalaro Lang bagged the outright Final Four berth for topping the single-elimination round with its 6-2 record.
