[Title] => Knights catch Lions at helm anew
[Summary] =>
Letran shackled Jose Rizal with a full-court press in the second half to fashion out a runaway 70-55 victory yesterday for a share of the lead with San Beda in the 82nd NCAA men’s basketball tournament at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.
Four Knights’ churned out double-digit scores with Boyet Bautista and Aaron Aban leading the charge with 16 and 14 points, respectively. But it was Letran’s pesky trapping defense that anchored their breakaway in the final half en route to catching the Red Lions at the helm again with their ninth win in 10 games.

[Title] => Knights buck big scare vs Bombers
[Summary] => Letran flirted with disaster but pulled off a 74-70 victory over Jose Rizal U just the same as the defending champions posted their third straight win to remain on top in the 82nd NCAA basketball tournament at the Ninoy Aquino Stadium.

[Title] => NCAA basketball season kicks off Saturday
[Summary] => The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) kicks off its 82nd season on Saturday with the staging of the centerpiece basketball competitions among eight teams with varying characters but with the same goal — win the crown of the country’s oldest collegiate league.
Letran has been tagged as the team to beat this early, but with the graduation of the core of its champion squad, the Knights will be hard pressed to go for a second straight crown especially with practically the rest of the pack keeping their respective rosters intact.
