Streaking Letran wins its ninth straight game over hapless NCAA Season 98 host EAC, while San Beda eliminates Mapua and idle Perpetual and Arellano from Final Four contention.
MANILA, Philippines – The Letran Knights clinched the first Final Four berth of the NCAA Season 98 men’s basketball tournament after outgunning the EAC Generals, 84-77, at the FilOil EcoOil Centre on Saturday, November 12.
Nat Cosejo led all scorers in the season hosts’ 14th loss in 16 tries with 21 points on a 10-of-19 clip with 9 rebounds, 4 assists in 34 minutes, as JC Luciano stuffed the stat sheet with 16 points, 12 boards, and 6 dimes. With the loss, the Cardinals fell to a 6-10 slate and can now only go as high as eight wins with two games left – not enough to catch the fourth-ranked Red Lions. The Altas and Chiefs, meanwhile, hold identical 6-9 records.
San Beda now gears up for a titanic clash with streaking rival Letran on Wednesday, November 16, 3 pm, while EAC takes a long eight-day break before returning for a match against San Sebastian on Sunday, November 20, 12 pm.
