                    [Summary] => San Beda toughened up down the stretch to turn back Mapua, 85-82, yesterday and seize the solo lead in the 79th NCAA basketball tournament at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.


Arjun Cordero supplied the firepower in the early going while rookie Ronnie Bughao took over in the fourth quarter as the Red Lions roared to their fourth straight victory and fifth overall against two losses.

That was enough to propel them to the solo lead after the first round of the eliminations.

The Cardinals held the Blazers to just 30 points in the first half while scoring 44 points of their own then held sway in the last two quarters to seal their fourth win in six games and close in on the pacesetting Jose Rizal Bombers (4-1).

"What we lacked in offense, we made up for defense," said Mapua coach Horacio Lim. "But it also helped that Al Magpayo was not around."

Bunched at second spot with the Letran Knights on identical 3-2 slates, the Stags and the Red Lions collide at 4:45 p.m. while the Cardinals take on the winless St. Benilde Blazers at 1:15 p.m.

Despite coming off a close 61-63 loss to San Sebastian, Mapua is expected to hurdle St. Benilde, a team needing to overcome its habit of playing selfish individual basketball.

The Cardinals face the Philippine Christian University Dolphins at 4 p.m. while the Altas battle the San Beda Red Lions at 2, both looking for their third victory in four games.

The three other teams with 2-1 (win-loss) records are reigning titlist San Sebastian, Letran and Jose Rizal.

Three days after shocking three-peat seeking San Sebastian, the Altas go for another one as they take on the dangerous Mapua Cardinals today in the 79th NCAA basketball tournament at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum.

Last Friday’s 72-65 victory over the defending champion put UPHR on top with a pristine 2-0 slate and another victory over Mapua, which dropped its previous game to Jose Rizal, 77-91, at 4:45 p.m. would preserve its grip of the lead.

The Red Lions face the Letran Knights at 2 p.m., hoping to score a follow-up to their 73-65 victory over the Philippine Christian University Dolphins in Saturday’s opener at the Araneta Coliseum.

The Cardinals, who walloped the Knights, 66-58, on the other hand, tackle the Jose Rizal Bombers at 4 p.m.

Raymund Dula and Jefferson Gonzales led the scoring with 13 and 12 points, respectively, but it was Martin’s 11 markers and court presence that spelled victory for the Cardinals, who joined the San Sebastian Stags, the Perpetual Help Altas and the San Beda Red Lions on top.

With Raymund Dula and Ryan Malig calling in sick, and ace playmaker Jeff Martin banned for the rest of the season due to misbehavior, the Cardinals leaned on Feliciano who responded with 26 points, including five of his team’s final seven points.

Tumapos si Salvacion ng 25-puntos upang pangunahan ang kanyang koponan sa pagtala ng ikasiyam na panalo.

Ang panalo ay lalo pang nagpahigpit sa kampanya ng Taft-based dribblers na mapatatag ang kanilang kapit sa solong liderato.
