Your Cobra men are gearing up for what promises to be an intense international showdown on Tuesday night as they face the Ateneo Blue Eagles – all the way from Manila.
Boasting an impressive 26 collegiate titles, the Blue Eagles bring a powerful roster with stars from across the globe representing the US, Canada, Philippines, and Brisbane.
Ateneo Athletics even joined the Jordan Brand family in 2022, a massive step for both parties in promoting sport in Southeast Asia and supporting youth development. Several other major sports brands sponsor individual players, including Adidas and Under Armour.
Leading the Ateneo squad is elite coach Tab Baldwin, a recent inductee to the New Zealand Basketball Hall of Fame for his major success as the head coach of the Auckland Stars in the NZNBL.
For all the star power Ateneo brings, your Cobras are sure to match it. Kilsyth brings VYC talent mixed with NBL1 stars, a 2023 VYC runner-up title, and a spot at the top of the VYC ladder this season. This squad will surely not miss an opportunity to stun.
