With Hanz Philip Maykong, Hakim Njiasse, Rodel Renon and Jhon Patrick Panello at the forefront of the team’s blistering start, the OC Sea Lions roared to a commanding 29-10 lead which the Parañague-based school gallantly protected to stay undefeated in the 10-team tournament.

In the second game, University of Batangas improved to 2-1 after downing 3-peat seeking Centro Escolar University, 95-90, thanks to the 25-point effort of Ryan Szhainel Briones.

Four other UB players scored in double figures as the Brahmans repulsed CEU’s mighty comeback after falling behind 31-17 in the first quarter.

The win was a fitting sequel to Olivarez’s 92-75 demolition of Immaculada Concepcion College last Monday in the tournament also backed by by Akari, CafeFrance, Advance Solutions Inc., Smart Sports, Spalding, Team Rebel Sports, Quintana Sports, Crane Faucet, Hapee Toothpaste, Jiang Nan Restaurant, Vital, Top Flite Academy, Maruyama, and Gerry’s Grill.

Njiasse matched his 21-point and 20-rebound performance the last time as he attacked the paint ferociously apart from dishing off 8 assists this time. He had only 4 in their win over ICC.

Maycong was equally impressive by scattering 16 points while Renon and Panelo chipped in 15 and 10 points, receptively.

The MCU Supremos, who beat University of Batangas, 95-90, also in the opener, slipped to 1-1 despite getting 22 points fro, Dennis Laconsay.
