Lebron Jhames Daep took command in the crunch as Perpetual scored an 86-80 win over Mapua in the opening of the NCAA Season 100 junior’s basketball tournament at the FilOil EcoOil Center in San Juan City on Monday, Feb. 24.
The 6-foot-7 center put up a near double-double performance of 20 points and nine rebounds on top of three assists and three blocks to carry the Las Pinas-based squad to its first win of the season.
The Junior Altas recovered from a slow start as Daep imposed his will inside to spark a big run.
He got ample support from Jan Roluna, who recorded 18 points and five rebounds.
