MANILA, Philippines — De La Salle University's quest for a men's basketball title retention took a major blow after Ben Mbala confirmed he is no longer with the team. "The decision to leave was the toughest I have had to make after being with La Salle for so many years," he wrote. He was then recruited by La Salle and served a two-year residency plus a year ban for playing in an outside league during his ban. His onslaught continued the following year and was once again named MVP, but La Salle relinquished their crown to their archrivals Ateneo. The 22-year-old Cameroonian thanked everyone who supported him with his stint with La Salle.
