In the world of college basketball, a team’s resilience and determination often define their season. And this is exactly what San Beda showed when they decisively bounced back after a recent setback—highlighting the importance of mental toughness and strategic effort. But here’s where it gets interesting: their recent victory over Emilio Aguinaldo College wasn’t just a win; it was a statement of their intent to regain dominance in NCAA Season 101.
San Beda secured a commanding 81-64 victory in their Group B matchup held at the Playtime Filoil Centre on Tuesday. After suffering a narrow, heartbreaking loss to the Heavy Bombers by just one point—67-66—the Red Lions responded with fierce energy and focus. From the very beginning, they took control of the game, establishing an early 11-point lead in the first quarter and maintaining their momentum throughout, eventually extending their advantage to as many as 23 points.
Returning to the court was team captain Yukien Andrada, who, despite initial struggles with his shooting, helped energize his teammates. The Generals, however, found little resistance against San Beda’s relentless attack, which was led by Janti Miiller. Miiller played a crucial role with a balanced performance—scoring 14 points and grabbing nine rebounds, exemplifying the team’s collective effort.
This victory isn’t just about the points on the scoreboard; it signifies a strategic rebound and a step toward reclaiming their top spot in Group B. Now, San Beda shares the lead with the St. Benilde Blazers, both teams holding a 3-1 record. This battle for supremacy in the group is heating up, and their latest win demonstrates their resilience and desire to stay on top.
