Mark Nonoy and the also-ran Terrafirma Dyip now have three chances to salvage their Commissioner's Cup campaign in the PBA, starting against the Blackwater Bossing.
Only one losing skid will end when all is said and done.
Terrafirma aims to be the squad standing tall in the end as the win-seeking Dyip battle fellow cellar-dwellers Blackwater Bossing in the PBA Season 49 Commissioner’s Cup Wednesday, January 15, at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Already eliminated from playoff contention, Terrafirma will have three chances of securing a maiden victory in the mid-season conference starting against Blackwater.
The Dyip are currently 0-9 in the team standings and found themselves on the verge of yet another disappointing campaign.
In its last outing, Terrafirma came heartbreakingly close to a breakthrough after dropping a tight 89-84 loss to Magnolia in a game that featured seven deadlocks and 19 lead changes.
Even Terrence Romeo’s debut game with the Dyip did not bolster the squad as the veteran guard was clearly still far from his tip-top shape with just three points and two assists in over 13 minutes of action.

Terrafirma got a team-high 22 points from veteran guard Stanley Pringle and Brandon Edwards and Kevin Ferrer contributed 14 and 11 points, respectively.
The match is set for 5:00 p.m.
