Saturday's match between University of Perpetual Help System DALTA and San Beda University will also be a family affair as cousins Olsen Racela and Yuri Escueta hope to steer their respective squads to a win in NCAA Season 100.

Racela's mother and Escueta's father are siblings.

Racela's ALTAs squad has been on the losing end of back-to-back games and has a 4-4 card, while the Red Lions of Escueta are coming off a high as they defeated rival Colegio de San Juan de Letran and improved to 3-3.

"Kita mo naman 'yung difference when he came to Perpetual," Escueta said about Racela in Perpetual.

"How they became disciplined, competitive, and organized, not just on the basketball side. It's gonna be an exciting game for both sides."

The game will start at 11 a.m.

Meanwhile, Lyceum of the Philippines University (4-4) will take on Colegio de San Juan de Letran (5-3) at 2:30 p.m.

The Pirates recently defeated Perpetual while the Knights lost to the Red Lions last Tuesday.
