Bombers, Knights try to boost playoff drives

MANILA, Philippines — Jose Rizal University and Letran seeks to keep a firmer grip of their spots in the magic four as they battle San Sebastian and Arellano U, respectively, today in NCAA Season 98 at the Filoil EcoOil Centre.

The Bombers were coming off a pair of giant-sized victories – an 83-80 win over the San Beda Lions on Oct. 4 and a 63-57 triumph over the Lyceum of the Philippines U Pirates three days later – that catapulted them to the top 4 with a 5-2 mark.

JRU got derailed though by some postponements due to health and safety protocols and will get to return to court for the first time in two weeks against SSC, a team out to improve on its 3-5 slate, when the two face off at 12 p.m.

The Knights, clinging on to No. 4 with a 7-3 record, play the Chiefs at 3 p.m.
