                    [Summary] => San Beda and Philippine Christian University fashioned out contrasting victories over Mapua and Letran, respectively, to arrange a best-of-three showdown for the 82nd NCAA basketball crown at the Araneta Coliseum yesterday.


The Lions survived a furious rally by the Mapua Cardinals as they eked out a come-from-behind 55-51 victory to make the finals for the first time since achieving the feat nine years ago.

The Dolphins, on the other hand, blasted the Letran Knights, 72-50, in the other semifinal contest to book their third straight championship appearance.
