MANILA, Philippines — San Beda tries to preserve its unbeaten Filoil Flying V Preseason Cup slate when it takes on heavy favorite La Salle in a crucial tiff today at the Filoil Flying V Centre.

The SBC Red Lions will put their 4-0 record on the line against the 4-1 Green Archers for the Group A lead with the elimination round fast coming to a close.

San Beda will be led by James Kuwekuteye and Clint Doliguez while La Salle is to be bannered by Andrei Caracut, Aljun Melecio, and Justine Baltazar.

In other seniors matches, University of the Philippines (4-2) attempts to solidify its spot in the next stage of the tournament when the Maroons battle the University of Santo Tomas Growling Tigers (1-3) at 2 p.m.
