Beermen seek back-to-back wins under Austria's wings

The San Miguel Beermen are seeking their second straight win under the guidance of the returning head coach Leo Austria.

San Miguel returned to winning after Austria took over and brought in new import Torren Jones in their last game against the Terrafirma Dyip, 106-88.

The multi-titled mentor was again called to take charge after disappointing losses to NLEX (99-104) and Rain or Shine (107-93) that followed a lackluster 107-103 come-from-behind opening win over Phoenix.

Nine-time champion Austria was plucked from his consultant portfolio in January 2023 to take over from Jorge Gallent, who slid to consultant in the process.

The Beermen will be facing the Blackwater Bossing, also seeking their second straight victory.

Blackwater finally entered the win column after beating the all-Filipino Meralco Bolts, last Thursday, 114-98.

Meanwhile, the Bossing finally scored a breakthrough after a 0-3 start in the mid-season conference, taking down all-Filipino Meralco, 114-98, last Thursday.

Tip off will be 5:00 PM later at the Ynares Center in Antipolo.
