-

MANILA, Philippines - Sa kabila ng seven-man rotation, nakumpleto pa rin ng Letran Squires ang kanilang pag­pasok sa Final Four.

Sa likod ng 25 points, 8 assists, 4 rebounds at 3 steals ni Mark Cruz, nakababatang kapatid ni PBA point guard Marvin Cruz, iginupo ng Squires ang St. Benilde Junior Blazers, 91-86, sa juniors’ division ng 86th NCAA basketball tournament kahapon sa The Arena sa San Juan City.

Makakatapat ng Squires bilang No. 4 team ang nagdedepensa at No. 1 San Beda Red Cubs sa Final Four, habang lalabanan ng No. 2 San Sebastian Staglets ang No. 3 Perpetual Junior Altas.

Tangan ng Red Cubs at Staglets ang ‘twice-to-beat’ incentive kontra Squires at Junior Altas, ayon sa pagkakasunod.

Bago gibain ang Junior Blazers, pinayukod muna ng Squires ang Jose Rizal Light Bombers, 87-73, noong Sabado sa kanilang unang knockout match.
