Mapua University showed why they are among, if not, the top contender to win it all this year.
This, after the Cardinals showed composure in a gutsy win against Emilio Aguinaldo College, 83-77, at the NCAA Season 99 Men’s Basketball Tournament on Wednesday at the FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City.
Warren Bonifacio, who saw limited minutes due to foul trouble, still delivered and finished with 14 markers, three boards, and two rejections, while JC Recto, who held the fort for the former, tallied a 12-point, 10-rebound game. But the Cardinals answered with a deuce by Jopet Soriano and a booming triple from Escamis with only 35 ticks left in the contest.
EAC, whose Final Four hopes took a hit as they fell to 7-7, was led by Maguliano’s game-high 29 points while also grabbing 10 boards and an assist.
