San Beda avenges Benilde loss, clinches NCAA Group A top seed
San Beda University got its revenge on College of Saint Benilde, claiming an 82-69 victory to close out the NCAA Season 102 Seniors Basketball Tournament elimination round and secure the top seed in Group A on Tuesday at the Filoil Centre.
The defending champions finished the elimination round with a 10-3 record, tying the JRU Heavy Bombers. However, the Red Lions secured the top spot by virtue of the quotient advantage.
San Beda will now face the winner of the Perpetual Help-San Sebastian play-in match in the quarterfinals, where it will enjoy a twice-to-beat advantage.
Meanwhile, Benilde, which defeated San Beda, 77-68, on opening day, will face Group A second seed Emilio Aguinaldo College in the quarterfinals without a twice-to-beat advantage.
