MANILA, Philippines – Fran Yu sizzled in the second half as the Letran Knights dominated the San Sebastian Stags, 69-50, for their sixth straight win in the NCAA Season 98 men’s basketball tournament on Sunday, October 23 at FilOil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
Making up for a poor first half where he shot 0-of-4, Yu came out firing in the closing quarters to finish with 19 points – including a personal 8-0 run in the final period – on top of 5 rebounds and 2 steals.
Brent Paraiso also contributed 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 steals as the second-running Knights improved to 9-3.
San Sebastian, which fell to 3-6, managed to stay within striking distance for three quarters before Letran charged with a 20-10 outburst in the fourth quarter behind timely buckets from Yu.
A Yu triple made it a 62-48 spread for the Knights as they cruised ahead in the final three minutes.
Kenneth Villapando and Rhinwill Yambing paced the Stags with 8 points apiece.
