The Movers and the Altas will reintroduce themselves with one another in this all-NCAA clash with game time set at 2 p.m. It will be the dawn of a new era for Metropac-San Beda, with James Canlas, Clint Doliguez and AC Soberano all poised to take a bigger chunk of responsibility to help Nigerian slotman Donald Tankoua. Pressure is also on for the Movers to keep the Finals streak of coach Boyet Fernandez, an eight-time PBA D-League champion coach, alive in this new endeavor starting in this Foundation Group duel. But it won't be a walk-in-the park for Metropac-San Beda, with Perpetual aching to get back at their NCAA Final Four tormentors.
