Lyceum, Letran seek to distance from the NCAA pack

Lyceum is set on extending their winning run to seven matches in the NCAA as they face off against the College of Saint Benilde later this afternoon.

The Pirates are fresh from defeating Perpetual Help last Friday, and are looking to extend the struggles of the Blazers at 2pm. They have literally run rougshod across their opposition, scoring a league-high 91 points per game while just allowing 76 points, which is good enough for fourth in the league.

The latter is something head coach Topex Robinson has been making an emphasis on this season, noting that "We'd like to press the energy out of every team we face."

Meanwhile, CSB is fresh from a painful defeat against Letran last Thursday, and another loss would put them further behind the pack in the league.

Speaking of the Knights, they face off against Arellano at 4pm, with the Jeff Napa-coached side seeking to solidify their hold on third place with a win.

Buoyed by an inspired performance at their home gym last Thursday, Letran will look to continue using their playbook of imposing their height advantage.

As for the Chiefs, a victory later puts them on level terms with the Knights in third place.

The other collegiate matchup is a noontime clash between Mapua and San Sebastian, with both sides smarting off losses last Friday and are also looking to keep themselves treading above water this season.
