National University overwhelmed an inferior Emilio Aguinaldo College crew, 74-52, yesterday to grab a piece of the lead in Group A of the Filoil Flying V Hanes Premier Cup.

The Bulldogs, the reigning UAAP champions, banked on a strong start anchored on guards Reden Celda, Jay Alejandro and Paolo Javelona on the way to a 22-point whipping of the Generals in the second game at Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan.

Letran, though, spoiled Jose Rizal U’s bid to keep pace with the leaders as the Knights hacked out a 58-52 decision in the other game.
