PHILIPPINE SUFFERS FIRST DEFEAT IN FIBA-ASIA U-18

WHY IS TEAM PILIPINAS ALWAYS IN FOUL TROUBLE? ARE DONAGHY JUNIORS PREVALENT IN FIBA-ASIA?

I thought they are mentally tough than their seniors' counterpart. Turns out I was wrong. Hopefully, the boys' recover from this setback. Man, they are always in foul trouble. Some people are still scared of Team Pilipinas and want them out early huh! The same thing happened with the seniors team last year in FIBA-Asia Champions Cup.

Lebanon beat Philippines 87-84 in Group C preliminary round Friday of FIBA-Asia Under 18 Championship in Tehran, Iran.

Philippines, who had won after allowing Chinese Taipei to bounce back before winning in second Overtime on Wednesday seemed to have learnt their lessons.

The former six-time champions kept a small, but steady, lead throughout till the start of the fourth quarter.Ryan Garcia topped the scoring for Philippines with 28 points.

I will not be surprised if some teams have players looking like 20-25 years old.
