The three-peat-seeking Letran Knights go for the kill, while the CSB Blazers aim to bounce back and force a rubber match. Tune in here for LIVE UPDATES! NCAAFinals
Led by big man Louie Sangalang, who dropped a monster double-double of 24 points and 10 rebounds, the two-time defending champion Knights were simply too much for the Blazers down the stretch of their chippy Game 1 showdown as they moved on the cusp of their third straight crown.in Game 2 due to suspensions, to rely once again on Sangalang, not only on the offensive end, but also in containing CSB star center Will Gozum.
Also count on Fran Yu, King Caralipio, Brent Paraiso, and Kurt Reyson to deliver their usual numbers for Letran in this highly anticipated Game 2 matchup as it tries to capture its first three-peat in school history since 1984. On the other side, the Blazers will need Gozum, who also had a double-double of 18 points and 11 rebounds in the series opener, to lay it all on the line and show why he is the presumptive NCAA Season 98 MVP as they aim to bounce back and drag the Knights to a rubber match.
With the status of their third-leading scorer Miguel Oczon still up in the air due to the ankle injury he sustained early in Game 1, other CSB players such as Miggy Corteza, Mark Sangco, James Pasturan, and JC Cullar, among others, must also step up big and help Gozum carry the scoring load in this win-or-go home affair for the Blazers.
