MCBL: Team IBS

Basketball season is just about to start for the IBS team. We're joining the MPG Corporate Basketball League (MCBL) First Conference which opens next weekend. I attended the league GA last Friday to finalize the divisions. We were unable to settle the divisions though due to some unpaid teams. However, at least initially, IBS is placed in Division B alongside Cebuana Lhuillier, Pepsi, Shell and HSBC. The divisions may still change up until Wednesday I think.

Our team's core is basically anchored around the IBS Sportsfest champion LeNoBo team, the same group who placed third in one of the MPG Ateneo Invitational divisions last year. We've added quite a number of standout players from the other internal IBS teams, but we've lost a few key contributors as well. All in all though, I believe this is a stronger team compared to last year's.

We're looking to surpass last year's third place finish, hopefully getting into the finals this time.
