San Sebastian entered the win column with a 63-58 win over University of Perpetual Help System Dalta Friday in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament at the La Salle Greenhills Gym.

Perpetual’s Mark Omega jockeys for rebound position against Mark Omega of SSC.

The Stags held Jielo Razon to a single basket in the final 10 minutes of play after the Altas guard scored 20 in the first three quarters.

Kim Aurin, who dropped 20 points in Perpetual’s 77-56 victory over Jose Rizal University, could only muster seven points on 3-of-11 shooting.

“’Yung endgame nila, they will always have the mentality na we have to play good defense and titignan natin ‘yung offense natin and that’s what’s happened,” said coach Egay Macaraya after San Sebastian rebounded from its season-opening 63-65 loss to Arellano.

JM Calma, Rommel Calahat and Ken Villapando conspired in the Stags’ 9-0 run to build a 63-55 advantage with 33.1 seconds remaining.

Calahat led San Sebastian with 17 points, eight rebounds and four assists in a reserve role.

“Nag-adjust po kami. Kinalimutan namin ‘yung last game (against the Chiefs). Inisip lang namin na mag-bounce back ngayon,” said Calahat.

Calma had 14 points, nine boards and two blocks while Ichie Altamirano was the other Stag in double digits with 12 points.
