The San Beda Red Lions secured a decisive 89-59 victory over the Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals in the NCAA Season 100 men's basketball tournament, boosting their Final Four aspirations.

Emman Tagle led the scoring with 20 points, including five triples, while Bismark Lina added 18 points and four rebounds for the Red Lions.

This win avenges San Beda's first-round loss to EAC on September 17 and marks their 10th victory against five losses.

With three games remaining, San Beda needs just one more win to secure a Final Four berth alongside league leaders St. Benilde Blazers and Mapua Cardinals.

Emilio Aguinaldo College, paced by King Gurtiza and Harvey Pagsanjan with 10 points each, slid to fourth place with a 7-8 record, tied with Letran and Lyceum of the Philippines University.
