Games in the playoff round of the Inaugural 2008 PILCOWA-San Miguel Beer Basketball League over the weekend were suspended due to rain.<\/p>\n
The first playoff game between MIGS and San Miguel Light set for Saturday was cancelled when it rained early afternoon making the CIC Centre Basketball Court in Garapan unplayable.<\/p>\n
The MIGS-San Miguel tiff was rescheduled yesterday afternoon, but the match was suspended in the third period due to rain.<\/p>\n
Also called off were the playoff matches between Diamond Auto Care and Aon Insurance and C&R Distributor\/NRG and Reliance Construction.<\/p>\n
League coordinator Fando Muleta said they will still meet with team representatives before rescheduling the three matches in the first round of the playoffs.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe still need to check the availability of the players,\u201d Muleta said.<\/p>\n
In the regular season, the San Miguel caging had games every Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. In the playoffs, games were originally scheduled for weekends only.<\/p>\n
The first round of the playoffs will have a single-elimination format, while the next round will be double-elimination.<\/p>\n
Century Insurance drew a bye in the first round of the playoffs after claiming the pennant with its 5-1 record in the regular season.<\/p>\n
Actually, Century tied MIGS in win-loss record, but the former took the pennant after beating the latter in their lone duel in the regular season, 98-94.<\/p>\n
Diamond Auto Care finished the regular season with a 3-3 record tying C&R\/NRG, but the former won the tiebreak for third place on a win-over-the-other rule. C&R dropped to fourth.<\/p>\n
Reliance also defeated Aon Insurance in the tiebreak for fifth place. They had identical 2-4 slates in the regular season.<\/p>\n
San Miguel had only one win in the preliminaries posting its lone victory over Reliance, 107-83.<\/p>\n
Before starting the playoffs, the San Miguel caging held an All-Star Game on Nov. 15.<\/p>\n
The Dark All-Stars, who were composed of players from C&R, MIGS, and Aon, prevailed over the Light All-Stars, 107-105.<\/p>\n
Comprising the Light All-Stars were selected players from Century, Reliance, San Miguel Light, and Diamond Auto Care. Auto Care mentor Boy Garcia called the shots for the Light All-Stars, while C&R\u2019s Marvin Deocares coached the Dark All-Stars.<\/p>\n
MIGS\u2019 Bonbon Cadagat was named All-Star MVP, while teammate Sonny Lerio won the 3-point shout contest held before the All-Star Game.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
