Will Saturday’s FIBA Asia Cup win over Iraq be the spark that awakens the sleeping giant that is Gilas Pilipinas?

Following a huge 66-57 win over Iraq Saturday afternoon, Gilas guard Dwight Ramos said the victory is a confidence-boosting one as they head to the knockout stage of the 2025 FIBA Asia Cup.

Gilas previously suffered defeats in the first two games of the group phase. First, a stunning 95-87 defeat against Chinese Taipei, before falling short against New Zealand, 94-86.
