Letran seeks to end a three-game losing spell as it guns for solo fourth against San Sebastian on Tuesday, Oct. 22, in NCAA Season 100 men’s basketball at the Filoil EcoOil Center in San Juan City.

Game is at 11 a.m. with the Knights aiming to regain lost bearings after slipping to a 6-6 win-loss record in tie with the Lyceum Pirates and the Emilio Aguinaldo College Generals in the middle standings.

Meanwhile, Arellano (4-8) guns for a follow-up of its 91-86 win over Lyceum when it takes on University of Perpetual Help (5-7) at 2:30 p.m.

Coming off a recent 86-78 defeat to Mapua last Friday, Oct. 18, a victory for Letran would also keep them closer to third-running San Beda, which sports an 8-5 record.

College of St. Benilde continues to lord it over the standings with a 10-2 card, but last year’s bridesmaid Mapua is not far behind at 10-3.

It has been more than a month since Letran won its first meeting over San Sebastian, 91-84, and they anticipate a more aggressive match this time as the Stags are trying to catch up at the standings after residing at the bottom with a 3-9 card.

Jimboy Estrada is expected to return from a one-game suspension and banner Letran anew along with James Miller and Kobe Monje, who carried the cudgels the last time with 14 points apiece.

Help will also come from Vince Cuajao and Kevin Santos.

Like Letran, San Sebastian also tries to brush off its bruised knees after falling to EAC, 101-94, over the weekend.

The Stags also bagged their first back-to-back wins after beating Jose Rizal University, 87-85, last week, but ran out of gas against the Generals despite the 30-point explosion of Tristan Felebrico.

Felebrico is expected to spearhead San Sebastian anew along with Renz Gabat and Paeng Are to match Letran’s frontline.
