Calvin Oftana leads NCAA MVP race as four Red Lions compose top five


In his senior year, Calvin Oftana has stepped up for the San Beda Red Lions in their sweep of the first round of the NCAA Season 95 Seniors Basketball Tournament.

And Oftana’s efforts have resulted in him leading the Most Valuable Player race after the first round of the tourney.

With averages of 15.3 points, 8.6 rebounds, 2.5 assists, and 1.2 blocks per game, the 6-foot-5 utility forward accumulated a total of 51.22 player all-around value (PAV).

His total PAV was way higher than teammate Evan Nelle, who was a far second with 44.11.
