                    [Summary] => 



Philippine Christian University frustrated San Beda with a sleek run-and-gun game anchored on a tough defensive stance as the Dolphins frolicked in a sea of red-clad crowd to fashion out a 70-52 victory last night and force a winner-take-all match for the NCAA men’s basketball crown at the Araneta Coliseum.

If the outcome of the series’ opener Monday would be any indication, the Mendiola-based cagers could be in for a big bash tonight, a kind of celebration they’re not accustomed to, having been title-less since 1978.

Held to just 27 points in the first 30 minutes of play, including that two-point struggle in the second quarter, the Lions roared back by clobbering the Knights in the fourth behind their own suffocating defense.

Nanalo ang San Beda sa naturang laban sa 73-64 iskor laban sa PCU para sa kanilang ika-10 sunod na panalo at ika-11 sa kabuuang 12 laro.
