Vincent Cunanan drained back-to-back baskets in the crunch as Lyceum squeaked past defending champion San Beda, 64-62, in NCAA Season 100 men’s basketball tournament at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City on Tuesday, Oct. 15.
The 5-foot-10 playmaker stepped up when needed most by rifling his first triple with 29.6 seconds left to give the Pirates a 61-60 edge and then coming back in the last 8.6 ticks with another trey to answer back Zachary Estacio’s jumper for San Beda and iced the game.
Gyle Montano, meanwhile, paced Lyceum with 12 points and two rebounds, while John Bravo contributed nine points and seven boards. Jonathan Daileg also shone when it mattered most, unloading five of his seven points in the fourth quarter. A Montano jumper and two charities from Renz Villegas gave Lyceum its biggest lead at only four, 48-44, with 9:24 left in the game, but it was enough to fuel its resolve until the dying seconds.
