Tony Ynot leads CSB Blazers to victory over Mapua with 25 points

College of St. Benilde guard Tony Ynot is finding his form again after an ankle injury, leading the Blazers to a 75-65 victory over Mapua in the NCAA Season 101 men's basketball tournament.

Ynot expressed his satisfaction in regaining his game and contributing significantly to the team's success.

He posted an impressive stat line of 25 points, eight rebounds, three assists, and a steal, playing a crucial role in Benilde's dominant 18-0 opening run, with 11 of those points coming from him.

The win also propelled St. Benilde to a tie for the second seed in Group B with a 6-3 record, and avenged their Finals loss to Mapua last season.

Ynot demonstrated leadership on the court, acting as an extension of coach Charles Tiu by guiding his teammates.

The NCAA games were held at the Rizal Memorial Coliseum, a venue Ynot had never visited as a child when the league last played there.
