The Vaqueros de Bayamón, having become the second team to qualify for the post-season, aim to secure the first position in Conference A of the Baloncesto Superior Nacional (BSN). They will face the Criollos de Caguas on Saturday at the Coliseo Rubén Rodríguez, and a win would give them a two-game lead over Caguas with only two games left in the regular season. The BSN had previously confiscated a win from the Criollos due to the use of a suspended player.
Vaqueros' manager Christian Dalmau stated that the team's goal is to finish in the highest possible position, as starting the series at home is important in the playoffs. The Vaqueros will play their last two games of the regular season against the Mets de Guaynabo and the Leones de Ponce. To secure the first place without depending on other teams, they need to win their remaining three games.
The Vaqueros have a strong defensive record, allowing only 83.8 points per game, the lowest among the 12 BSN teams.
