Arellano delivered another splendid performance after routing Lyceum, 74-56, to keep its quarterfinal bonus bid alive in the NCAA Season 101 men’s basketball tournament at FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan City Wednesday, Nov. 19.
The Chiefs hit full throttle early on behind a 26–6 blitz which was enough to build a huge cushion they protected up to the end.
Aside from improving its slate to 6-6 for a solo third in Group A, Arellano also boosted its bid for a quarters incentive as it lurks behind Mapua (7-5) which sits at second.
Lyceum, on the other hand, suffered its ninth defeat against three wins at fourth to set up a play-in showdown with San Sebastian (3-10).
“Sabi ko sa kanila, maging consistent lang sila sa system, offensively at defensively. Ang maganda e nasuklian ‘yong viewing at preparations namin,” coach Chico Manabat said. “Tiningnan namin lahat ng tendencies ng Lyceum para maging consistent kami sa mga ginawa namin before.”
T-Mc Ongotan carried the scoring cudgels anew for Arellano after posting 24 points and 10 rebounds along with three assists and two blocks, while King Vinoya added 14 points.
John Barba was the lone double-digit scorer for Lyceum with 13 points on top of three rebounds and three assists in a losing cause.
Arellano looks forward to snatching the twice-to-beat advantage against Mapua this Friday, Nov. 21, while Lyceum guns for a rebound victory over Perpetual Sunday, Nov. 23.
Meanwhile, San Beda went three in a row after beating  Emilio Aguinaldo College, 96-82, to seal the No. 1 seed in Group B.
With their victory, the Red Lions hiked their slate to 9-3, while the Generals remained at the bottom with a 4-8 win-loss card.
The Mendiola-based squad now awaits for its quarterfinals foe between Lyceum or San Sebastian which battle in a play-in round. EAC, for its part, squares off with Jose Rizal University for the quarters berth.
On the other hand, EAC clashes with Jose Rizal University for the coveted quarters spot.
Bryan Sajonia led San Beda with 26 points, four rebounds, four assists and two steals, while Yukien Andrada and Agjanti Miller poured in 17 points apiece.
