eric menk expressed his willingness to play for the national team again, but chot reyes is eyeing willie miller and kelly williams.
KG canaleta was named as the replacement for the injured tony dela cruz

RP team ends SEABA with a 4-0 record and clinched one of the two spots (along with indonesia) for the FIBA olympics qualifier in japan in two months time.

*RP team averaged a 38.5 point winning margin in their 4 games in SEABA

*coach chot reyes considers inserting willie miller, kelly williams and gabe norwood (fil-am from george mason university) to the list.

Wow... I've never been prouder about our RP squad.

hope this RP quintet will qualify in the Olympics..............never did we see RP team battling it out with the rest of the basketball world in the OLYMPICS...can you imagine RP going up against the powerhouses of basketball..e.g. SPAIN, GREECE, ARGENTINA, PUERTO RICO AND PERHAPS THE USA...

teams to look out for in the qualifiers: china, lebanon, japan, kazakhstan, south korea (still having the busan buzzer beater to beat RP), jordan, qatar

they can. but im not quite sure sa format, top 4 or top 2 ra ang qualified. since china is automatically qualified na (host nation). the countries will battle it out for the remaining slots. kung top 4, chances are, makasulod ang RP. kung top 2, im doubtful. kuyaw ang kazakhstan and sokor.

just happy finally RP sent its best players.

Kaya lagi na. They won in the recent SEABA, although wa may ayo competition nganha. Pero I have high hopes for our team this year. This could be it.
