Gilas cadet roster to SEABA

I think this is the lineup that Gilas Pilipinas will parade for the 2015 SEABA Championship in Singapore later this month:

Kiefer Ravena (Ateneo)

Mac Belo (FEU)

Ray Parks (NU)

Troy Rosario (NU)

Jiovanni Jalalon (Arellano)

Scottie Thompson (UPHD)

Almond Vosotros (DLSU)

Norbert Torres (DLSU)

Glenn Khobuntin (NU)

Marcus Douthit (Naturalized)

Kevin Ferrer (UST)

Russell Escoto (FEU)

See ya in SEABA

Booked another trip to Singapore for April/May to support our very own Gilas Pilipinas as they take on the rest of the Southeast Asian nations in the SEABA Championship. If we're following history and precedence, we're supposed to dominate and run away with the title.

Last time I was with Gilas in an international tourney, in Hong Kong for the Super Kung Sheung Cup last January 2013, they were able to upset a highly touted American team to win first place. Former cadet and current pro Kevin Alas was the hero in that game. He took home MVP honors as well.

Since Gilas is sending a revamped cadet roster, with a lot of rookies to the Men's/Senior pool, this will be their first test against international competition. Looking forward to see how they do.

Hope to see more Filipinos take the short trip to Singapore to cheer our team. It's the perfect setup for hoop junkies who want to take a break from work and enjoy basketball at the same time.

2015 SEABA Tournament

The Philippine Men's National Basketball Team (aka Gilas Pilipinas) will play in the 2015 Southeast Asian Basketball Association (SEABA) Championship in Singapore this April. This tournament serves as the regional qualifier for the 2015 FIBA Asia Championship in Changsha (China) in October. The top 3 teams will qualify.

Gilas Pilipinas will parade its cadet team, composed primarily of amateur standouts from the collegiate ranks. Expected to lead the team are naturalized import Marcus Douthit, Ateneo's Kiefer Ravena and FEU's Mac Belo.
