NCAA player of the Week si Marcelino

Francisco Cagape - Pilipino Star Ngayon

MANILA, Philippines — Nagkaroon ng flu virus si Jaycee Marcelino, ngu­nit hindi niya maiwanan ang Lyceum Pirates kaya naglaro pa rin ito patungo sa 97-90 panalo kontra sa Letran Knights noong Biyernes upang manatili sa ikalawang puwesto sa 10-3 sa Season 95 NCAA men’s basketball tournament.

Kahit hindi nakapag-en­sayo ang 23-anyos na si Mar­celino ng halos limang araw ay pinangunahan pa rin ng Olongapo-native ang tropa ni coach Topex Ro­­binson kontra sa Letran.

“It’s about living in the mo­ment, no excuses. Like itong si Jaycee, he only re­turned yesterday after sitting out five days of practice. He played his heart out and that’s a testament to the dedication of this kid to this team,” ani Robinson.

Umiskor si Marcelino ng 25 points kabilang ang limang triples para ilapit ang Lyceum sa Final Four sa ikatlong sunod na season.

Dahil sa kanyang ipina­kitang katatagan ay napi­li ang Lyceum star bilang Chooks-to-Go Collegiate Press Corps NCAA Player of the Week.
