MANILA, Philippines — Pinigilan ng San Beda University ang isang two-game losing skid matapos talunin ang Emilio Aguinaldo College, 81-71, sa second round ng NCAA Season 99 men’s basketball tournament kahapon sa FilOil Centre sa San Juan City.

Itinaas ng Red Lions ang kanilang baraha sa 8-4 para patibayin ang tsansa sa Final Four habang nadulas ang Generals sa 7-6.

“Coming into the game, as a team, we just said that we will take it one game at a time for the next seven games,” sabi ni coach Yuri Escueta.

Humakot si Jomel Puno ng double-double na 11 points at 12 rebounds para sa San Beda na nag­lista ng 17-point lead sa first half.

Ilang beses itong naputol ng EAC, ngunit kinapos sa dulo ng fourth quarter kung saan sila naiwanan sa 63-74 sa huling tatlong minuto ng laro.

Samantala, muling naghati sa liderato ang Lyceum of the Philippines University at Mapua University matapos talunin ang kanilang mga kalaban.
