UNSCATCHED in nine games, National University is poised to complete an elimination round sweep that will be rewarded with an outright finals slot.
That scenario, however, is not in the minds of Lady Bulldogs coach Karl Dimaculangan and his belles — far from it.
“Siguro, kailangan i-remind lang namin or i-remind namin ang sarili namin na hindi ito ang gusto namin hangga’t or hindi lang kami hanggang dito. Parang kailangan pa naming magtrabaho, and kailangan kasi namin maglaro ng maayos every game,” Dimaculangan said.
“Iyon lang i-remind ko muna siguro sila then training, prepare kami kahit sino ang maging makalaban namin. Kailangan namin irespeto bawat opponent, siguro more on mental learning, preparation na lang siguro kami,” he added.
