San Beda, St. Benilde dispute 2nd finals slot
The College of St. Benilde (CSB) Blazers and the San Beda Lions will play in a decisive Game 3 for the last championship berth in the NCAA Season 101 men's basketball tournament.
CSB forced the decider with a thrilling 77-75 victory in Game 2, a win sealed by a game-winning shot by Ian Torres.
Torres expressed that the team needs to rely on chance, saying, 'Bahala na si Batman ulet.'
The Blazers are aiming to make it to the finals for the third time in the last four years, which would give them a chance to win their second title since 1998.
San Beda, who won Game 1 with a score of 91-72, missed the chance to clinch the finals spot as Agjanti Miller was sidelined in Game 2 due to a knee contusion.
The winner of the match will face the Letran Knights in the championship round, after the Knights swept the University of Perpetual Help.
CSB coach Charles Tiu stated that the team's focus is solely on winning Game 3.
