Any potential questions on whether Lyceum will secure the other twice-to-beat advantage was officially put to rest on Sunday with a 98-86 victory over Arellano at the Filoil EcoOil Centre.
It was a truly dominant performance from start to finish for the Pirates, who snapped up their thirteenth win of the season out of seventeen matches, joining Mapua as the top two teams in the 99th iteration of the NCAA Philippines.
It was a different outcome compared to the previous result, an 83-80 win over San Sebastian that saw the Golden Stags assert themselves and took advantage of a little sluggishness and overconfidence.
The Chiefs tried to keep in pace in the first half, but could not hold on in the remaining twenty minutes, as they drop to 2-15.
Leading the way for the Gilbert Malabanan-coached squad are Mclaude Guadana and John Barba, who each scored seventeen points, while also scoring in double figures are Shawn Umali and Enoch Valdez with fifteen and eleven, respectively.
Lyceum will finish its elimination round against a San Beda side on Tuesday still working their way into the postseason.
