CENTRO Escolar University withstood a late rally by Marinerong Pilipino-San Beda for a 72-63 victory on Tuesday and bolster its bid of finishing in the top two in the Philippine Basketball Association D-League Aspirants’ Cup at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City.
“As I’ve said in my pre-game speech, what I wrote on the board aside from the technicalities and Xs and Os is ‘David and Goliath,” CEU coach Jeff Perlas said. “San Beda is a strong team and they’re the Goliaths in this game and we’re the Davids but nothing is impossible for us as long as we believe we have a David inside us.”
Marinerong Pilipino San Beda battled back from a 20-point deficit and pulled within four with three minutes left in the fourth but blew their chance to turn the game with an erratic finish.Marinerong Pilipino-San Beda is now hard pressed to beat EcoOil-La Salle on Thursday to force a three-way tie with CEU and La Salle at first place.
In the other game Tuesday, Go Torakku-St. Clare pulled away for a 118-84 victory over CCI-Yengskivel to halt its three-game losing spell and earn a shot for twice-to-beat advantage in the quarterfinals.
