Games today at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan:
10am Letran vs Mapua/Malayan (HS)
12nn San Beda vs Lyceum (HS)
2pm Letran vs Mapua
4pm San Beda vs Lyceum
The much-anticipated matchup between last season's finalists will finally take place this afternoon, as San Beda and Lyceum tangle in the final game of the day at 4pm.
Both teams have combined to win fourteen straight games and the winner is set to move up to solo leadership in the standings.
Although the Pirates have beaten the Red Lions in the regular season, they were unable to match that in the finals, putting their historic 18-0 regular season sweep to naught.
With both teams parading virtually the same cast of characters, it is expected to be another humdinger of a matchup, with San Beda head coach Boyet Fernandez sharing to the media, "It will be an exciting game for sure."
Lyceum is looking to conclude their first round on a great note, as the league's best offense attempts to overrun the league's best defense that is being touted by the defending champions.
The other collegiate matchup sees Letran up against Mapua at 2pm. The Knights are seeking to bounce back from consecutive losses against undefeated San Beda and Lyceum, but both matches showed why they are perceived as title contenders, losing in OT to the former and toting an 8-point lead late in the fourth against the latter. A win over the middling Cardinals would put them back in the running for the postseason as it moves them into a tie with idle CSB for fourth in the league.
