WANGS Basketball @27 Striker-Letran hopes to turn their fortunes around Thursday when they play the PSP Gymers in the 2023 PBA D-League Aspirants' Cup at the Filoil EcoOil Center in San Juan.
The Knights have lost their first two games but their chances to clinch the breakthrough win look bright .
The Letran-PSP encounter is set at 4 p.m.
Letran absorbed a frustrating 90-87 defeat against Marinerong Pilipino-San Beda in its debut last week, before running out of steam against CEUand lost in overtime, 92-85, on Tuesday.
But the Knights are not ready to press the panic button.

They are not the NCAA 3-peat champs for nothing.
"We have to rely on our defense. We should be disciplined and hungry to win," said Letran new coach Rensy Bajar, who will be leaning on Kurt Reyson, Kobe Monje and Pao Javillonar.
The 2-2 Gymers are unfazed though. They promised to give Letran a run for its money. PSP opened its campaign with a stunning 94-92 win against Marinerong Pilipino-San Beda.
"Letran yan, champion team sa NCAA, so dapat handa kami,"PSP deputy coach Jonathan Macaranas said.
Jayvee Dela Cruz, Dariel James Bayla and veteran Val Acuna will carry the fight for the Gymers. (JBU)
