NATIONAL University never had it so good — unbeaten in 13 matches and a chance at advancing outright to the Big Dance for the first time in the Final Four era.
The fancied Lady Bulldogs, however, need to work hard for the big prize, according to coach Karl Dimaculangan.
“Kasi para sa amin, hindi muna namin iniisip iyong sweep, pero ang isip namin ay one game at a time muna kami, para hindi rin ma-pressure, especially iyong mga players, so mag-ready lang kami,” Dimaculangan said.
“Ang mindset ko kasi personally as a coach, siguro hangga’t hindi pa tapos ang trabaho namin, hindi ko masasabi na magaling ako, pero pinaghihirapan talaga nila every game para makuha namin iyong panalo, so credit naman sa players,” he added.
