THE University of Perpetual Help System DALTA Altas are aiming to win their first title when the 91st season of the National Collegiate Athletic Association unfolds on Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

The Altas, now under Coach Aric del Rosario, are yet to win a crown since it joined in the oldest collegiate league in the country in 1984. Perpetual is hopeful to end its long title drought with the acquisition of two Nigerian imports Bright Akhuetie and Prince Eze. Del Rosario said that Akhuetie and Eze along with reigning MVP and Gilas cadet team standout Earl Scottie Thompson will boost their chance of stopping San Beda’s six-peat feat bid. The rookie Akhuetie is 6’8, while Eze is 6’11, who can dominate the slot.
