Colegio de San Juan de Letran finally entered the win column in the NCAA Season 101 men's basketball tournament, snapping its losing streak with an 84-80 victory over Emilio Aguinaldo College on Saturday at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Deo Cuajao led the way for the Knights with 23 points, while Kevin Santos added fifteen markers.
Jonathan Manalili and Aaron Buensalida also contributed with their respective double-doubles in the effort. The former registered twelve points and thirteen assists, while the latter tacked on twelve and eleven rebounds.
For Letran coach Allen Ricardo, he explained the slow start his wards went through and explained that some things simply take time.
“Siyempre at the end of the day ‘yong cohesiveness at chemistry will take some time,” he said, while noting that, "I’m hoping na little by little, magpeak na rin itong team natin."
Nico Quinal and Wilmar Oftana led the Generals with 16 points each as they dropped to a 1-2 record.
Meanwhile, EAC-ICA nipped Letran in juniors action, 83-81.
A jumper from Clint Bonus gave the Brigadiers the lead for good with 37 seconds left. After Noel Lanceta split his charities to give EAC-ICA a two-point lead, Nathan Egea missed the potential game-winning triple as the buzzer sounds.
Kelly Coronel led his team with sixteen points while also blocking three shots, while Bonus finished with fifteen points and eight assists.
Egea led the Squires with sixteen points.
