Triple OT win hands Altas twice-to-beat incentive
MANILA, Philippines — University of Perpetual Help outlasted San Beda, pulling off a gut-wrenching 88-85 triple overtime victory yesterday to claim a twice-to-beat quarterfinals incentive in NCAA Season 101 at the Filoil EcoOil Arena.
Patrick Sleat scorched with a team-best 23 points including a crucial three-point play in the third OT before fouling out while Mark Gojo Cruz sizzled with 20 points including a mammoth triple late as the Altas improved to 8-1 and took that important privilege in the quarters.
Another win would seal the Las Piñas-based dribblers that top seeding in Group A.
Earlier, San Sebastian stunned Letran, 82-81, to claim a second triumph in nine outings and avoid the play-in. Instead, the Stags qualified straight to the quarters.
The Knights faltered to 5-4.
