Centro Escolar University continued its winning ways in the NCRAA men’s basketball tournament by dumping Immaculada Concepcion College, 85-55, for its fourth straight win at the A.R. Valdez Hall of PATTS College in Sucat, Parañaque.
Rich Guinitaran finished with 20 points, including nine in the opening quarter as he nearly singlehandedly outscored ICC.
With its defense working so efficiently, the Scorpions practically gained in control and were never seriously threatened by the Blue Hawks.
Unlike CEU, which banked on its solid team defense, PATTS College of Aeronautics and De Ocampo Memorial College needed solid performances from key players in whipping their respective rivals.
Jesto Loyola was a rebound away from posting a double-double performance in PATTS College of Aeronautics’ 86-57 demolition job of Philippine School of Business Administration-QC.
Loyola finished with 24 points, 22 of them coming in the first half, while also pulling down nine rebounds and his solid all-around performance rubbed off on the rest of the Seahorses, who coasted to their third win in four games in Group B of the standings.
