Road test for Gilas: Cone looks forward to away games in February window
Gilas Pilipinas is set to conclude their FIBA Asia Cup Qualifiers campaign in February 2025 with away games against Chinese Taipei and New Zealand.
Despite having already secured a spot in the tournament proper in Jeddah, coach Tim Cone views these road games as crucial for the team's development.
Cone emphasized the importance of learning to win in hostile environments, as future tournaments will require the team to perform well away from home.
The national team recently completed a 2-0 sweep in the second window of the qualifiers, defeating New Zealand and Hong Kong to maintain a perfect 4-0 record in Group B.
