Knights, Lions eye share of third spot

MANILA, Philippines — Letran and San Beda aspire to fortify their spots in the Magic Four when they battle Arellano University and University of Perpetual Help, respectively, today in NCAA Season 98 at the Filoil EcoOil Centre.

The Knights and the Lions are currently tied at No. 4 with 6-3 records after hurdling the Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals, 72-68, and the Altas, 71-52, respectively, last week.

Another triumph would send the league’s traditional powerhouses in a share of No. 3 with Lyceum of the Philippines U (7-3) and closer to pace-setting College of St. Benilde (7-2) and No. 2 Jose Rizal U (5-2).

In contrast, both AU and UPHSD are out to improve on their 4-5 slates.
