MCBL: IBS finishes 2nd

Our season ended last night with a disappointing 85-75 loss to a bigger-but-not-better Cebuana Lhuillier team. Their height and heft proved to be too much to handle as we were badly beaten off the glass. Don't let the final score deceive you though. The game was much closer than the final score suggests. We had their balls up their necks and asses for most of the game.

Looking back though, I'm proud of what the team has accomplished this season. Who would've thought that a bunch of IBM weekend warriors, true employees at that, will reach the finals with a sensational 7-1 record. We cruised through most games and we were tested in a couple. But more importantly, the team (especially the rookies) gained more exposure and experience. We'll be a whole lot tougher to handle next time around.

The MCBL 2nd Conference starts in late September or early October. Meantime, the team will part ways and play for their respective domains/accounts for the annual MDC sportsfest which formally opened yesterday and will run until September.

Minus JC and Bon who both resigned recently, I fully expect the team to be back when the 2nd Conference kicks off in a couple of months.


Final record: Runner-up finish with a 7-2 record (1-1, postseason)
