/ 12:01 AM October 27, 2014

For winning a record sixth straight title and 21st overall in the NCAA, San Beda College has been installed as heavy favorite to rule the 3rd Philippine Secondary Schools Basketball Championship (PSSBC) Ironcon Builders Cup which fires off Nov. 8.

The Red Cubs fell short in their bid to win the only championship missing in their collections after absorbing a 108-102 triple overtime loss to the San Sebastian College Staglets in last year’s final.

With Joshua Caracut and Nikko Abatayo at the helm, the Red Cubs outlasted the Cardinals, 78-65, over the weekend to become the winningest school in the NCAA.
