Citing the improvement of weather conditions, the NCAA ManCom announced that the Saturday matches between LPU and Perpetual, as well as JRU and Letran will both push through.

This after two game days (October 23 and October 25) got suspended due to unfavorable weather circumstances caused by Tropical Storm Kristine.

The full statement reads:

Dear ManCom, Coaches, GMA, Commissioner and NCAA Community:

Please be informed that, with the improving weather conditions forecasted for tomorrow, we can already resume the basketball competitions, with the scheduled games for Saturday, October 26, 2024, LPU vs UPHSD and JRU vs CSJL.

Please be guided accordingly.

In the first match at 11 a.m., the LPU Pirates (6-6) will lock horns with the Perpetual Altas (5-8)– two teams caught in the logjam in the middle of the standings trying to revitalize their chances of cracking the Final Four.

LPU will look to redeem themselves after falling to Arellano last Saturday, while Perpetual is also determined to go back to their winning ways following a two-game slump against San Beda and Arellano.

In the main game, the Letran Knights (7-6), coming off a close win over the San Sebastian Stags last Tuesday, look to claim their second straight win against the sluggish JRU Heavy Bombers (3-9) who are searching for a win after four-game skid.

Letran and San Sebastian will battle it out at 2:30 p.m. at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
