COLLEGE of St. Benilde (CSB) will try to stay alone on top as it tangles with a sputtering San Sebastian College-Recoletos (SSC-R) even as Colegio de San Juan de Letran and San Beda University rekindle their age-old rivalry today (Oct. 1) in NCAA Season 100 at the Filoil EcoOil Arena.
Unflappable at the helm with a 5-1 mark, the Blazers shoot for another win against the Stags (2-5) in their 11 a.m. showdown that should fortify their hold of the solo lead.
If not, it will give the rabid chase pack headed by Letran to snatch a piece of the lead assuming it could survive a familiar foe in San Beda, the reigning titlist, when the two collide at 2:30 p.m.
The Knights are at No. 2 with the Mapua University Cardinals on 5-2 slates while the Lions are finding their rhythm and form after going a disappointing 3-3 in their first six outings.
CSB though is heavily favored to hurdle SSC-R, which has fallen from grace with a 2-5 record after opening its campaign with two wins in a row.
Allen Liwag and Justine Sanchez should be the Blazers’ battering rams after coming through huge in a 103-78 demolition of the Lyceum of the Philippines University Pirates Friday.
Mr. Liwag was the juggernaut after ramming his way to 22 points and 12 rebounds while Mr. Sanchez served as the wrecking ball by finishing perfect from the field after making all his five shots from the field and eight from the charity line for 18 points.
“We just have to continue to show aggressiveness from both ends,” said CSB coach Charles Tiu. — Joey Villar
