MANILA, Philippines – Defending champion San Sebastian battles Jose Rizal University (JRU) on Friday’s knockout game for the remaining finals slot in the 86th NCAA men’s basketball at The Arena in San Juan City.
The Stags hope to get past the Heavy Bombers and arrange a championship rematch with their tormentors, league leader San Beda Red Lions.
San Sebastian is coming off a 90-82 beating in the hands of San Beda, whose victory last week completed an unprecedented 16-game sweep in the NCAA.
However, playing against JRU won’t be a walk in the park for San Sebastian.
The Heavy Bombers are coming off a stepladder 60-54 win over the Mapua Cardinals.
JRU is expected to ride on this momentum going into Friday’s game against San Sebastian.
The winner between the Stags and the heavy Bombers will face San Beda, who enjoys a thrice-to-beat in the finals.
The unbeaten Red Lions need to win only twice in the Finals to reclaim the NCAA title while their opponent will have to beat them thrice.
