There’s guaranteed to be a new NCAA men’s basketball champion after College of St. Benilde edged defending titleholder Mapua, 74-72, in the Season 101 quarterfinals on Friday at San Juan Arena.
“It looked like a game we almost let slip away. Beating Mapua’s really something,” coach Charles Tiu said. “Everybody was counting us out… Nobody believed in our team so I told them we have something to prove. The job’s not done.”
