San Beda faces EAC, tries to stay close to leader Benilde

DEFENDING champion San Beda University seeks to stay close to solo leader College of St. Benilde as it clashes with an unpredictable Emilio Aguinaldo today in NCAA Season 100 at the Filoil EcoOil Arena.

The Lions threw the defensive anvil on the run-and-gun San Sebastian Stags in hammering out an 85-75 victory Saturday and moving in a four-way logjam at second spot with a 2-1 record.

They share No. 2 with the Stags themselves, Mapua Cardinals and University of Perpetual Help Altas.

The Blazers remained unshakeable at the helm with a pristine 3-0 slate.

They play the Generals (1-2) at 2:30 p.m.

San Beda coach Yuri Escueta stresses the need to improve on its league-worst free throw shooting after bricking 37 of the 83 shots they attempted there.

“Hindi naman nagkulang sa practice,” said a wary Esueta. “But we need to get used to shooting free throws in real life.”

The bad, bald men of Letran, meanwhile, goes for a second win in a row after splitting their first two outings against an Arellano U side out hunting for a first win after two consecutive setbacks.

They collide at 11 a.m.

The Knights got on the winning board after outlasting the Bombers, 70-62, Friday.
