Perasol sees UP-La Salle tussle as 'Cameroon vs Mali'

MANILA, Philippines — “We can go Cameroon versus Mali,” teased Bo Perasol.

The Fighting Maroons coach was referring to University of the Philippines’ biggest test in the new UAAP season’s first round this Saturday: Defending champions De La Salle University.

“[Impor] Ibrahim (Outtara) right here is a national team player of Mali,” Perasol explained. "We have lots of scorers, as you can see, but we can dump the ball to him anytime, and I think that we'll really be in a good position if he can prove that during game time."

After returning to the winning column at the expense of the University of the East, the Maroons have improved to 2-1 in the league ladder.

The Green Archers, for there part, are now trying to recalibrate their system with import and reigning Most Valuable Player Ben Mbala back in the fold.

La Salle recently took a share of the solo 3-0 lead with arch rivals Ateneo de Manila University after soundly beating dark horse Adamson University last Wednesday.
