Letran beats San Beda for top spot in Filoil's NCAA bracket
Colegio de San Juan de Letran took the top spot of the NCAA bracket in the Filoil EcoOil Preseason tournament after beating rival San Beda University, 75-68, on Wednesday at the Filoil Centre in San Juan. The Red Lions were trailing 69-66 with 1:48 remaining in the fourth period before back-to-back baskets from Peter Rosilio and Mark Denver Omega extended the Knights' margin with 40 seconds left. Jimboy Estrada's free throws eventually sealed the victory despite Zedjay Etulle's late basket for the Mendiola crew. Estrada waxed hot from the field as he had a perfect 11-of-11 two-pointers on top of four rebounds to build 24 points, while Titing Manalili had 15 points, seven assists, and two rebounds as the Intramuros crew finished the elimination round with an 8-1 record. "Ang mahalaga sa'min, get as much experience as we can, get as many wins as we can, para madala namin sa NCAA," said head coach Allen Ricardo. Jomel Puno led the Red Lions with 17 points, five rebounds, and an assist, while Yukien Andrada and Nygel Gonzales had 12 points each in the San Beda loss. Earlier, De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde defeated Lyceum of the Philippines University, 100-93, to also finish with an 8-1 record. However, by virtue of Letran's head-to-head victory against Benilde, the Knights clinched the top spot and will face National University in the quarterfinals set on Friday. —JKC, GMA Integrated News

Letran's Vince Himzon played with injured finger in Final Four match vs. Mapua
By JUSTIN KENNETH CARANDANG,GMA Integrated News Not even injury could keep Colegio de San Juan de Letran's Vince Himzon from giving his all in their Final Four match against De La Salle-College of Saint Benilde. Prior to the Knights' semis match against the Blazers, Himzon posted a photo of his finger wrapped with bandage as he was nursing an injury. "Medyo masakit pa po," Himzon told GMA Integrated News after their four-set win against the top-seeded Benilde. [It's still hurts a little.] The injury, however, did not deter him in this game. Himzon had 12 points, the second highest output for the team in terms of scoring following Bembem Bautista's 17 points. It was a good thing that he pushed through despite the pain he was experiencing then. "Nag-chat sa akin [si coach] sabi kumusta 'yung daliri mo? Sabi niya, ire-reserve niya ako sa Linggo. Sabi ko, 'di puwede coach, ilalaban ko na 'to. Nandito na eh," he said. [Coach said to me in a chat, how's your finger? He said he would reserve me for Sunday. I said, we can't, Coach, I'll fight through this. We're already here.] Himzon then vowed to give their all as they aim to reach the finals and topple the powerhouse from Taft Avenue. "Mas maganda pa po ang igagalaw namin sa Friday, paghahandaan po ulit namin and magtutulong-tulong kami and hahabaan namin ang pasensya namin sa isa't isa kasi doon kami mahina," he added. [We will play even better on Friday, we will prepare and we will help each other. We will have more patience with each other since that's where we're weak.] —JMB, GMA Integrated News
