Red Lions scrape past Generals
MANILA, Philippines — San Beda scraped past Emilio Aguinaldo College, 89-86, in the NCAA Season 102 men’s basketball tournament at San Juan Arena yesterday.
The Red Lions overcame a feisty comeback from the Generals to improve to a 6-3 record in Group A.
“Sabi ni coach Yuri (Escueta), we were too soft. Kailangan namin ng konting tapang at konting diin sa second half,” said Aldous Torculas.
The Red Lions led by 11 in the early goings of the payoff period, 85-74, after a Torculas triple at the 7:02 mark.
The Generals, however, went on a furious 12-0 run capped off by a Joseph Nunag bucket at the 1:16 mark to take the 86-85 lead.
A sorry disruptive foul by EAC’s EJ Castillo on RC Calimag, however, changed the complexion of the endgame.
Calimag, who finished with 11 points, ended up sinking four free throws – two from the transition take foul and two from the ensuing possession – to ice the game, 89-86, with 4.3 to go.
