The Dyip are currently at joint 11th with Blackwater with their similar 1-6 marks, making their path to the quarterfinals mathematically open — though razor thin — making this showdown a must-win.
Terrafirma has lost five straight matches heading into the league break, including a tough 76-107 defeat to Phoenix in its most recent outing.
Despite the loss, Paolo Hernandez continues to be a reliable spark, finishing with 14 points, while Louie Sangalang and Aljon Mariano added a combined 24 markers.
