San Beda University moved just one game away from another Final Four berth in the NCAA Season 99 Seniors Basketball Tournament after delivering a 74-56 victory over the second-seeded Lyceum of the Philippines University on Tuesday at the Filoil Ecooil Centre.
With an 11-6 record, the Red Lions are now assured of at least a playoff for the fourth spot in the Final Four after this win. If Jose Rizal University loses its last game, or if San Beda gets the job done against Colegio de San Juan de Letran to conclude the elimination round, the Red Lions will secure a direct entry into the Final Four.
The Red Lions are set to face Colegio de San Juan de Letran on Friday at 3:30 p.m., marking the final game of the second round.
On the other hand, the Pirates conclude the elimination rounds with the second-best record of the tournament, boasting a 13-5 record.
