Perpetual seeks third in NCAA Season 94 action

Prince Eze: NCAA Press Corps Player of the Week

Games Today at the Filoil Flying V Centre in San Juan:

10am La Salle-Greenhills vs EAC-ICA (HS)
12nn Perpetual vs JRU (HS)
2pm CSB vs EAC
4pm Perpetual vs JRU

The 94th season of the NCAA resumes this afternoon with a couple of doubleheaders at the Filoil Flying V Centre.

Kicking off the collegiate portion of the four-game bill is a matchup of 2-4 teams in Emilio Aguinaldo College and College of Saint Benilde at 2pm.

The Generals are fresh from back-to-back victories and as what their head coach Ariel Sison shared to media last week, are seeking to "sustain their momentum."

EAC rode on Hamadou Laminou's double-double effort of seventeen points, twelve rebounds, and six blocks to fend off Mapua, 89-85.

In contrast, CSB is smarting from a 77-65 loss to Lyceum and another loss will put the bench further behind in the race for the postseason.

The final game of the afternoon sees the winless Jose Rizal University against Perpetual Help System Dalta at 4pm.

The Heavy Bombers have yet to pick up a win this season, while the Altas can be on level terms with idle Letran at third place with a victory.

Perpetual rode of the latest NCAA Press Corps Player of the Week Prince Eze in their last outing, a 76-74 win over San Sebastian. The Nigerian contributed with a near 20-20 output against the Golden Stags, including the game-winning tip-in with half a second remaining.

Frankie Lim shared after the game, "We need him to come up big for us every game and help open up a bit for the other guys." Eze is currently leading the NCAA in rebounds and blocked shots, while being just outside the top five in scoring.

In the high school division, it's top meeting bottom, as La Salle-Greenhills attempts to maintain their hold atop the league against cellar-dwelling EAC-ICA at 10am, with Perpetual seeking to remain within striking distance against JRU at noontime.
