The UPIS Junior Maroons are currently competing in the Fil-Oil Flying V tournament to prepare for the upcoming UAAP season.
In their first game against JRU, the Jr Maroons lost with a final score of 63-77.
They also failed to get a win in their next two games against NCAA defending champions MIT, 65-84, and UAAP defending champions FEU, 69-74.
Despite the losing effort, they are still optimistic and hungry for improvement.
The team is still trying to find its true identity under the tutelage and system of coach Paolo Mendoza.
John Allan Gregorio, the Jr Maroons’ team captain gave his insight about the team’s status and he mentioned that they are not burying themselves under pressure since they value learning as much as they can in every game that they play in the tournament.
He also said that even though they are not getting the results they want in their recent games, they are acquiring more knowledge and wisdom in every game as a team.
In addition to Gregorio’s statement, when asked about how the team is doing, Jr Maroons’ guard Bryan Lina said, We are still in the process of learning how to play within system and work on our team chemistry. Kasi ang main goal namin is to win in the UAAP.”
