The Patriots lost to the Red Lions, 97-86 in the elimination round.
"I told my players not to waste or squander the opportunity or chance given to us to reach the championship."
Delgado also told them that since this is the first invitational league after the pandemic, they need to get this championship,
The Patriots received P50,000 while the Red Lions earned P30,000. The Agro-Industrial Foundation Colleges Sailors took third place to P20,000 while the Philippine Women's College Patriots finished fourth to get P10,000. Trophies were also awarded.
"It's the start of our year, and they answered my call, and they played well both on offense and defense,” said Delgado.
Delgado hopes they can bring and continue this momentum and good start for the upcoming tournament, which is the ALDU Cup of the Davao del Norte Basketball League (DDNBL).
The DDBL is managed by SanMan Sports Foundation headed by DDNBL Commissioner and SanMan Sports Foundation Chairman Arman Sañano.
