UP targets ECJ Perpetual Trophy
The University of the Philippines (UP) Fighting Maroons are aiming to defend their championship in the upcoming Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup without key players Francis Lopez, Quentin Millora-Brown, and JD Cagulangan.
If UP wins this season, they will permanently take home the Amb. Eduardo "Danding" M. Cojuangco, Jr. (ECJ) Perpetual Trophy.
UP's strategy will rely on players like Rey Remogat, Harold Alarcon, Gerry Abadiano, and Terrence Fortea to maintain their winning momentum.
Rival team La Salle, led by coach Topex Robinson, is also preparing with new transferees Jacob Cortez, Kean Baclaan, Mason Amos, and Luis Pablo.
Other UAAP teams competing include University of Santo Tomas, Adamson, Far Eastern University, University of the East, and National University, with only the top four advancing from a single round robin.
NCAA champions Mapua, led by Clint Escamis, will also participate in the tournament.
