TAKE YOUR PICK: Blazers, Cardinals arrange title showdown
Mapua University and College of Saint Benilde will clash in the NCAA Season 100 men's basketball finals, marking the first time in two decades that the championship series will not feature San Beda University or Letran College.
Mapua secured their spot by defeating Lyceum of the Philippines University, 89-79, with Most Valuable Player Clint Escamis leading the charge with a career-high 33 points.
College of Saint Benilde earned their finals berth by dethroning defending champions San Beda University with a score of 79-63.
This championship matchup will produce a new winner after 15 years, as San Sebastian College was the last team outside of San Beda or Letran to win the title in 2009.
The Cardinals are aiming to end a 33-year title drought and are making their second consecutive finals appearance.
The best-of-three championship series between Mapua and CSB is scheduled to begin on December 1 at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.
