San Beda continued the second-best winning streak in the NCAA season 93 men’s basketball tournament after taking down San Sebastian 76-65 Friday at Filoil Flying V Centre.
The Red Lions won their 10th straight game and improved to 11-1, half a game behind league leader Lyceum with a 12-0 card, while the Stags dropped to 5-6.
“It’s our defense that stepped up in this game, and we had a tough time preparing for San Sebastian,” said San Beda head coach Boyet Fernandez.
“They have a good coach [in Egay Macaraya] and good players like [Michael] Calisaan.”
San Beda outrebounded San Sebastian, 45-25, and held the Stags to 37.88 percent shooting from the floor.
Although the Red Lions made just 21 field goals in 47 attempts, they made up for it from the stripe going 25-of-33.
Javee Mocon led San Beda with 17 points, 11 rebounds, five assists, and two blocks while Davon Potts added 16 points.
Calisaan practically carried the Stags’ offense with 23 points on 9-of-20 shooting.
