Despite drawing first blood in the finals series, head coach Boyet Fernandez believes that the Red Lions are still the underdogs against the Pirates. We still have to win one more game,” said Fernandez, emphasizing that his wards lost twice to the top seed this season. What’s going to define us is how we are going to bounce back,” said Lyceum mentor Topex Robinson. Robinson took the blame for their Game 1 loss, which saw the boys from Intramuros blow a 12-point lead in the third quarter. The 37-year old tactician though wants to dwell on the brighter side instead, noting that they gained experience heading into their win-or-go home tiff.
