Perpetual-San Sebastian, San Beda-CSB highlight Thursday NCAA action

Games scheduled on Thursday at the Filoil Flying V Centre

10am San Sebastian vs Perpetual (HS)
12nn San Beda vs La Salle-Greenhills (HS)
2pm San Sebastian vs Perpetual
4pm San Beda vs College of Saint Benilde

An interesting Thursday basketball schedule even got more attention with the latest developments that got fleshed out on Wednesday afternoon.

First reported on by Christian Jacinto on SPIN, the University of Perpetual Help System Dalta's season could unravel with the revelation that the Altas may have broken some eligibility rules involving some of their players, most notably Edgar Charcos and Kim Aurin.

As a result, Frankie Lim could potentially be missing their key cogs heading into their matchup against San Sebastian at 2pm, a matchup that went down the wire to the final seconds in Las Pinas during the first round.

The Golden Stags, as well as the Mapua Cardinals, Arellano Chiefs, and the Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals, will stand to benefit if the nine Perpetual victories are to be forfeited, as the four schools would be brought back into the postseason chase, with the chance to potentially catch-up with the College of Saint Benilde, who will have to deal with a punishing gauntlet of a schedule to end their eliminations stint.

The Blazers are playing defending champions San Beda later that afternoon at 4pm, with matches still to be played against currently top-ranked Lyceum and third-place Letran sandwiched around a match against also-rans JRU.

In the high school division, the Staglets are seeking to take advantage of a free-falling Junior Altas at 10am, with the loser of this matchup officially kissing their Final Four hopes goodbye. The other matchup features La Salle-Greenhills against San Beda at noon. The Red Cubs are looking to join Mapua/Malayan in a tie for second place if they can beat the Greenies.
