Arellano Chiefs ready for another title shot in NCAA

AFTER being swept by the San Beda College Red Lions last year, the Arellano University Chiefs are ready for another crack at the title when the 91st season of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) basketball tournament starts on June 27 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City.

With a line-up almost the same as last year, the Chiefs are one of the favorites to challenge six-peat seeking Red Lions. Among those expected to lead the Chiefs are Dioncee Holts from the United States and Southeast Asian Games campaigner Jiovanne Jalalon. Veterans Alfred Gumaru and Zachary Nicholls will support them.
