JRU upsets Letran, denies top seed

Jose Rizal University (JRU) upset Letran, winning 87-71 in the NCAA Season 98 men’s basketball elimination round on Wednesday, November 23.

The victory denied Letran the top seed, leaving them with a second-best 13-5 record behind St. Benilde Blazers' 14-4 record.

JRU's win secured their season on a high note after a six-game losing streak and a controversial brawl with St. Benilde earlier in the season.

Letran will still advance to the Final Four with a twice-to-beat advantage over Lyceum Pirates, while JRU finished with a 7-11 record.
