MB2ALL left bottom position moving up to eighth place, which they share with SEBAM. TMBB at the other side still keeps top with five games lost. MB2ALL is looking forward to face higher ranked COSPN (#4) in the next round and it will be quite challenging to get another victory. TMBB will play against ASCB and hopes to get finally their first victory.
Seventh ranked 2BC (2-2) saved a 2-point victory at home edging 8th ranked SEBAM (1-3) 86-84 on Tuesday evening. 2BC moved-up to sixth place, which they share with SBBC.

The game in was also quite interesting. Fourth ranked COSFA (4-1) played at the court of 5th ranked SBBC (2-2). COSFA managed to secure a 7-point victory 79-72 on Tuesday.
