MANILA, Philippines–Ralph Robin fired seven threes and finished 27 points as Emilio Aguinaldo College repulsed San Sebastian College, 63-60, on Wednesday in the NCAA men’s basketball tournament at the La Salle Greenhills gym.
JP Maguliano added 14 points and Nat Consejo delivered double-double outputs of 10 points and 14 rebounds for the Generals, who registered their third win in six games while dealing the Stags their fourth setback for a 2-4 record.
The Generals ferociously chased the Stags right from the get-go before finally catching up with them when it mattered most through the collective efforts of EAC’s energetic bench.
Ken Villapando had 16 points for the Stags, who misfired 17 of their 20 attempts from the arc and wasted several double-digit advantages.
