MANILA, Philippines – College of Saint Benilde schooled San Sebastian College-Recoletos to pull off a dominant win, 88-66, on Tuesday, August 4 at the Filoil Flying V Arena in San Juan City.
Following a lackluster output in the Green Blazers’ previous game, Jonathan Grey regained his cold-blooded shooting character as he exploded with 29 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 3 steals and two blocks.
When Saint Benilde played Jose Rizal University last week, Grey, who averages 15.67 points per game, finished with only with 6 points, which is his lowest output this season.
“Grey is an impact player for this team. As we seek to be a different Benilde in this ball game, he responded with a remarkable performance. He has this on-court energy that he parts with his teammates,” CSB head coach Gabby Velasco said of Grey.
The 6-foot-1 ace gunslinger already had 20 points in the first half and pitched in two pivotal assists that gave Carlo Young an opportunity to hit back-to-back 3-pointers in the second period.
Aside from Grey, Jose Saavedra also contributed to Saint Benilde’s shutout triumph over San Sebastian with 20 markers and converted 6 of his 12 beyond-the-arc attempts.
Saint Benilde improves its record to 2-5 in the ongoing NCAA Season 91 men’s basketball tourney, while San Sebastian downgrades its standing to 1-6.
“We don’t look at our past games, but we look at the team standings. I hope it’s a start of something new,” Velasco stated.
San Sebastian was led by big man Bradwyn Guinto, who had a double-double performance with 16 points and 16 rebounds.
